Mix milk, cream, honey, sugar, and egg yolks with a whisk until smooth, pour into a pot, and heat to 84 degrees — ice cream requires precision. Then cool the mixture completely and, taking it out of the fridge several times and stirring thoroughly, turn it into ice cream. If you have an ice cream maker, it can do this for you when you pour the mixture into it.

Divide the puff pastry into two sheets, generously sprinkle with powdered sugar, roll into a long rectangle with a short side of about 30 cm, and roll into a fluffy tube. Then, without skimping on powdered sugar, cut into pieces 4-5 cm long. Place each piece with the rolled part up, sprinkle with powder, and roll into a thin pancake.

Spread baking paper on trays, place pancakes on it, cover with another sheet of paper, and put another tray or something flat and heat-resistant on top, with a weight (also heat-resistant) like baking beans. This is needed to make the dough circles as thin as possible. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for fifteen minutes. Carefully cool the finished flatbreads and gently cut them with a bread knife — 18 dough petals are needed for six servings.

Make pastries: each is a pyramid made of a dough petal, a scoop of ice cream, and attached berries, followed by another petal, more ice cream with berries, and a roof made of another petal. The last one can be dusted with powdered sugar.
