Servings Pastries

Make the pastry cream according to the recipe linked here: Pastry cream recipe
Once pastry cream is chilled and ready to use, move onto making the puff pastry.

Make the puff pastry according to the instructions linked here: Puff Pastry
Or just buy some premade from the store, which is much easier.
Take the puff pastry and roll out to a thickness of roughly ¼" thick. If you're using store-bought puff pastry, thaw in the fridge and unroll from tube.
Cut puff pastry into desired shapes. Triangles make for great two-bite desserts.

Bake the puff pastry at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Once cool, use a paring knife to cut the puff pastry in half.
Using the prepared pastry bag and frosting tip, pipe the pastry cream into an even layer on half of the puff pastry.
Place the other half of the pastry on top so you've got yourself a nice little sandwich. Pipe a little flourish on top and finish with some chopped pistachios.
Serve immediately. Pastries can be stored up to a day in the fridge. If making this recipe in advance, wait to cut in half and pipe until ready to serve.
