2. In a saucepan, add the milk, cornflour, sugar, eggs, and brandy. Mix well and place it on the heat. Boil, stirring constantly until the cream thickens.
3. Break some puff pastry squares into a glass or serving dish, then layer with the cream and the sliced peaches. Finish with more puff pastry squares and sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.
