In a bowl or in a stand mixer, pour all the ingredients for the shortcrust pastry into the cream and knead until the flour absorbs all the ingredients and forms a ball, then cover with cling film and let rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Using a rolling pin and floured baking paper, roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of about 45 mm, then line the pasticciotti molds.

Combine all the ingredients for the cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cool completely and then transfer it to a piping bag. (If you don't have one, you can also use a teaspoon.) Fill the molds with the cream, then cover with the shortcrust pastry, sealing the edges well.

Place the pasticciotti on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 30 minutes. The cooking time depends on your oven. Let the pasticciotti cool and serve. You can also dust with powdered sugar if desired.

You can also fill the pasticciotti with different creams according to your tastes.
