Today, I am sharing how to make pastry cream from scratch! Some might call it custard, custard cream, crème pâtissière, French pastry cream, etc. We need to know how to make pastry cream from scratch to be able to make so many types of desserts such as fraisier, cream puff, eclairs, fruit custard tart, or cream such as a creme diplomat, creme mousseline, etc!
I explain the steps in detail so you can also make your own perfect pastry cream at home. Follow the steps exactly to make the super creamy & shiny pastry cream.
📌 The Ingredients to make pastry cream:
Whole Milk: 400 g | 14.1oz (1 2/3 US cups)
Vanilla Beans: 1/2 stick * Updated
Granulated Sugar: 100 g | 3.5 oz (1/2 US cup) * Updated
Egg Yolks: 4
Corn Starch: 20 g | 0.7oz (2.5 Tbsp) * Leven the surface.
All-purpose flour: 20 g | 0.7 oz (2.5 Tbsp)
Salt: A pinch
Butter (Unsalted): 30g | 1oz (2 Tbsp)

AMAZING VIDEO!!! if we want to check he final temperature to make sure corn starch has fully cooked, should it be 212F?

@sheichiwee4292 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you Chef Aya! Your voice is very relaxing! 😌

@PastryLivingwithAya 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! :) I've never checked the temperature but that sounds right, the pastry cream starts getting loosen like that when the temperature reached to about 95C (203F), so that should be around that temperature or a little bit above. You can see and feel the change, so don't really need to check the temperature unless you want to! If you double the amount of the recipe or make a half batch for example, it takes a little bit longer or less to cook until it reaches to the condition, so I wouldn't judge with the time like I said in the video ;) Hope that helps!

Using a blender at the end is an actual procedure taught even in culinary schools at high levels. Just a tip for everyone: use a combo of half corn starch and half rice starch ( not rice flour, it must be rice starch!!) . Corn starch gives the cream it's firmness, and the rice starch gives it a creamy texture. Thank me later 😎🇮🇹❤

Hi Aya, thank you for this lovely rendition of a classic. I was wondering if you could help me with something. I am trying to bake in the oven small tarts filled with pastry cream and topped by a layer of pastry dough. The problem I have is that the tarts require a minimum of 20' at 250 to bake but after this time the pastry cream inside reaches a temp of high 75C and starts expanding causing the rupture of the tart top. For the pastry cream filling, I basically use your recipe and I was wondering if maybe I could reduce the grams of yolks in the pastry cream recipe or maybe make the dough a bit thicker ( I am using 4mm at the moment). If I try to reduce the temperature the baking time increases and the cream eventually puffs up anyways. Thank you again for any idea you can share!

I've watched several videos on pastry cream & synonyms and yours is the best. Still, you forgot for how many minutes to keep the cream in the fridge. And another tip to add is How-To keep the pie or tart CRUST getting humid when you pour the cream in order to keep it dry and crunchy. I've heard to cover the crust with chocolate before or cover it with egg whites, what is your advice?
