Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes until thick, then let sit while you prep the pastry.
Step 2
Thaw puff pastry at room temperature for 5 minutes until pliable. Lay on parchment paper.
Step 3
Spread custard evenly over pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
Step 4
Roll the pastry tightly from the long side into a log. Coil it into a spiral and place on a baking sheet.

Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle pearl sugar on top, then bake for 12 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Cool for 2 minutes on the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
