pastry cream secret recipe

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Difficulty Level: Easy
Yield: About 2 cups

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
  2. 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  3. 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
  4. 4 large egg yolks
  5. 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
  6. 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  7. Pinch of salt

Method:

  1. In a pot of medium size, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Warm the milk until it reaches the desired temperature. Do not allow it to come to a boil.
    Stir the dry ingredients together:
  2. You should combine the sugar, cornflour, and salt in a separate basin and mix them together.
  3. Use in conjunction with Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are completely smooth. Using a whisk, gradually incorporate the sugar mixture into the egg yolks until they are well blended.
  4. To temper the eggs, slowly add about half a cup of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continually. This will allow the eggs to become more temperate. They will not get curdled as a result of this.
  5. While continuously whisking, gradually pour the egg mixture that has been tempered back into the pot that previously contained the remaining hot milk.
  6. The cream should be cooked by continuing to simmer the mixture over medium heat while whisking it
  7. continually until it starts to bubble and thickens. This ought should take approximately two to three minutes.
    After the mixture has thickened, take the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth.
  8. To avoid a skin from developing on the surface of the pastry cream, transfer it to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Press the wrap directly into the surface of the cream. This will allow the cream to cool.
  9. After it has reached room temperature, place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or until it is completely cold.
