Cream Pies with Caramel Topping, baked in oven

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…!

 

 

The recipe goes as follows:
