Light pastry cream: the easy recipe
No Reviews
Pastry cream is a staple in French baking, but a lighter version can be just as delicious and even easier to make. With this simplified recipe, you will achieve a velvety and aromatic cream perfect for your favorite desserts. It's ideal for serving in ramekins or for filling pastries. By using just a few basic ingredients such as milk, eggs, sugar, and flour, your preparation will be ready in no time.
Ingredients
500 Milk
½ clove Vanilla or a little liquid vanilla
60 Flour
75 Sugar
Flavor of your choice (coffee, cocoa powder ...)
Directions
1
Put 500 ml of milk in a saucepan with a split vanilla bean or liquid vanilla. Place over high heat to bring to a boil. Add the flavoring at the beginning of the boiling.
2
While the milk is brought to a boil, turn off the heat and mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Once the flour and sugar are combined, add the 3 egg yolks and mix.
3
Once the egg yolks are mixed with the flour and sugar, gradually add the milk to the mixture and stir.
4
Once the milk is well incorporated into the mixture, return everything to the saucepan and place over low heat. Stir with a wooden spatula until the cream thickens.
5
To finish, once the cream is ready, use it as you wish (to fill pastries or enjoy it in small dishes...)
