Healthier Vanilla Pastry Cream
Creamy thick and mildly sweet. This healthier vanilla pastry cream can be used on anything and everything. Equally delicious and very easy to make.
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 large yolks
- 2 tablespoon sweetener
- 2 tablespoon corn starch
- ¾ cup full fat milk (190 ml)
- ¼ cup cream 35% fat (60 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Whisk
- Use a big bowl and whisk yolks, sweetener and corn starch until they become a thick paste, using a handheld whisk. Set aside.
Heat
- Use a heavy bottom pot, heat milk and cream until it just starts to simmer. Turn heat off.
Temper
- Pour bit by bit all the milk cream into egg mixture while whisking. Then pour everything back into the pot (I clean it beforehand).
Cook
- Cook on low medium heat until the mixture thickens, while whisking the whole time. Once thickened, turn the heat off. Add in vanilla extract and mix everything together.
Chill
- Pour into a bowl and cover with cling film, making sure it touches the pastry cream. Leave to cool to room temperature. Chill for 1-2 hours in the fridge. Whisk before using to get back its silky creamy texture.
