Cream Pies with Caramel Topping

I watched on TV a similar recipe from Jamie Oliver a few days ago. These pies are really very easy to make and they are delicious in taste. I added vanilla extract in the cream filling and I increased the baking time since I found out that the puff pastry needed a bit more time to be baked than the original recipe.

Below you can find all the steps in making the recipe. I hope you like it…!
