Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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)

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

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 😎🇮🇹❤

@@Mysassafrasroots hi. Thanks for your comment. Add the butter gradually to the pastry cream while mixing ( better to use a stand mixer or a hand mixer). The butter must be soft but not melted. Kind regards

I followed your Instructions exactly and my French cream or custard turned out PERFECT !!!!! I was a little nervous because I have never made this in my life but you kept it so down to earth it gave me confidence. Thank you very much.
Delicious Custard! Thank you so much!👌👌🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I made it. It is just amazing. I didnt have the real deal vanilla bean but it was soo good. I ordered the vanilla to see how it goes. I used it on a mille feuille that turned out amazing. Thank youuuu
The best custard recipe I’ve watched so far...Tips are truly helpful. Thank you and God bless.
I must say that the pastry cream is extremely yummy. Delicious. Thanks.
I tried your recipe today, it was awesome I loved the idea of using the hand blender at the end. Thank you.
Gracias por compartir tu receta!!!
Best hints ever! Thank you
I love your presentation so easy to follow Thanks a bunch
best pastry cream video ever thank you!! after the 4th time i finally made my perfect pastry cream. thanks to your video!
Thank you for the really easy to follow recipe and helpful tips! I followed your tutorial and the pastry cream turned out really shiny and smooth. It was a bit sweet for me though (just personal preference). I think next time I would either use just 80g, or even half the sugar!
Aya I absolutely adore when you talk about anything and how you’re face just lights up and you’re excitement is contagious and it’s from your passion I am a very studious student of your pastry class 101 thank you 🙏 darlin Aussie gal is in the kitchen trying to find a way to cut down on the amount of dirty dishes bowls spoons spatulas omg it’s never ending lol 😂
I just took your butter cake out of the oven. I’m making this for a filling! I did not scrape the bottom fast enough! So, do as she says, MIX MIX MIX! 😋❤️
my first time making pastry cream turned out so well thanks to you!! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to tell when the flours were cooked and the cream got loose but it was actually noticeable ☺️ the comparison videos were really helpful, thanks again!

Immersion blenders are game changers for anything that needs emulsifying like creme pat., ganaches etc. It gives that professional patissier mouthfeel

@@PastryLivingwithAya we simply love your recipe.. I seen a KZread where they added condensed milk after removed the custard from stove. then cooled. then add whipped cream and whipped.. now this might be well over the top for a centre cream filling! I'm going to try it with your sponge cake. I'm retired and enjoying KZread in the kitchen, how creative is this! Donna even shares the kitchen with me :-) as long as i dont force her to eat the flops.. Once I'm satisfied I will file it away for my grandkids. love your work!!!!

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!
Love your all receipts😘😘😘😘🥰

Hi Aya, thanks for sharing this, would like to know if this is possible to turn to other pastry cream (eg. chocolate cream)? If so, where would be the point to add in and what will be a good ratio to add? Hope to hear from you.
What a great tutorial and the creme looks so lovely. I'm going to ask my husband to watch your tutorial so he can make some to try in profiteroles instead of fresh cream, which I think will be great. You have taken a lot of the mystique out of it.

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?
