Pasticcera cream, also known as pastry cream or crème pâtissière, is a classic custard-like filling that adds a rich and creamy texture to any cake. In this blog post, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to make a perfect pasticcera cream for your cakes. Let’s get started!

What You Will Need

Before diving into the recipe, let’s gather all the ingredients you will need:

  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup of cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple instructions to create a heavenly pasticcera cream:

  1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Make sure not to let it boil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until they are well combined and slightly thickened.
  3. Add the cornstarch to the egg yolk mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Slowly pour about 1/4 of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
  5. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Your pasticcera cream is now ready!

Tips and Variations

Here are some additional tips and variations to help you achieve the perfect pasticcera cream:

  • If you want to add a hint of citrus flavor, you can zest half a lemon or orange and add it to the milk before heating it.
  • For a more luxurious texture, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
  • While the pasticcera cream is delicious on its own, you can also customize it by adding flavors such as coffee, chocolate, or fruit puree.

Now that you have learned how to make a perfect pasticcera cream for cakes, you can elevate your baking game and impress your friends and family with delectable and creamy cake fillings. Experiment with different flavors and enjoy the versatility of this classic pastry cream. Happy baking!
