Vanilla pastry cream:
Bring the milk to a boil with the split vanilla bean.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Add the cornstarch and mix well.
Once the milk has boiled, gradually add it to the previous mixture, then return everything to the pot.
Stir constantly over medium heat until the cream thickens. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover the cream directly with plastic wrap (the wrap should touch the cream to prevent a skin from forming). Let it cool completely.
Unroll one puff pastry sheet and spread the cold vanilla pastry cream over it. Then sprinkle with chocolate chips, and cover it all with the second puff pastry sheet.
Place an upside-down glass in the center. Cut the tart into 16 equal sections, starting at the glass.
Twist each section the same number of times to ensure an even result (we twisted each one 3 times).
Brush the tart with egg yolk and bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
And there you have it, your vanilla chocolate sun tart is ready to be shared!
