filling cream

Pastry cream, also known as crème pâtissière, is a thick and flavorful custard used as a filling in cakes, pastries, and desserts. It is typically made by combining ingredients such as milk, sugar, egg yolks, flour or cornstarch, and vanilla or other flavorings, then cooking until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Due to its soft and velvety texture, pastry cream not only adds flavor but also provides a moist and pleasant layer within desserts. It is commonly used in various desserts, including éclairs, mille-feuille, and birthday cakes, and can be flavored in different ways, such as chocolate, vanilla, or fruit.
