Take them out of the oven and allow to cool.
In a pot add the milk, whipped cream powder, sugar and spices and allow to come to a gentle simmer.
Add the vanilla, cream and take off the heat.
Break the puff pastry into small pieces and place half the amount in a baking dish.
Sprinkle the nuts and coconut.
Top with the other half  of puff pastry crumbs.
Slowly add the milk mixture, one ladle at a time to the dish with puff pastry and nuts until the milk fully covers the puff pastry.
