12Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill.
13For the pastry cream, add 5 egg yolks to a measuring cup.
14Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the egg yolks.

25Pour the pastry cream onto a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
26Roll out the chilled dough to a 1/4-inch thickness.

28Trim the excess dough from the edges of the molds.
