  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, around 2 minutes. Fold in powdered sugar until smooth.
  4. Place a tablespoon of the pastry cream at the wide end of each triangle, then roll tightly from base to tip, ensuring seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
