Preparation

Start by thawing the puff pastry (20 to 30 minutes). Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, place the puff on it and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C. After 20 to 30 minutes, the pastry should be cooked and browned. Remove from the oven, and as soon as you can, begin to separate the puff pastry layer by layer to dry, place on a baking tray and set aside.
Move on to the egg yolk cream, starting by preparing the sugar syrup: place the sugar in a saucepan and dissolve it in 1.9dl of water, let the syrup boil until it reaches 107°C, at which point the syrup will be at the thread stage. If you do not have a thermometer, check whether you have reached the thread stage by taking a skimmer, removing a little of the syrup onto a plate and seeing whether thin threads run from a flimsy ball at the end. If so, it is ready. Remove the syrup from the heat source, stir to cool slightly and then add the egg yolks while stirring constantly. Note that you cannot allow threads to form, it should have a smooth cream texture. Afterwards, put it back on the heat to thicken a little, stirring continuously. Turn off the heat source and allow to cool naturally, then put the container into an ice bath.
Continue to the next stage. Take a nonstick frying pan and toast the flaked almonds. There will be an explosion of aromas that will be the envy of many commercial essences. Once they appear golden, remove the almonds to a recipient and set aside.
You are one step from being named chef of the year (at least in the eyes of the lucky ones who try this wonderful recipe). Proceed to preparing the individual portions: take a ring 8 cm in diameter and start by making the base with separated puff pastry, then pour over the egg yolk cream and add the toasted almond. Repeat these three steps again, ending with the almond. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, followed by the icing sugar and finish with an exquisite touch of physalis. One portion is ready, now repeat for the others.

A real delicacy for your table, enjoy!
