Pastry cream

Pastry cream is an essential part of many of my bakes. This recipe always works for me, so I'm happy to share it with you! (Nice photo to follow...)

Ingredients:

• 500 ml (soy/almond) milk
• 100 g sugar
• 45 g cornflour
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 vanilla bean

Proces:

1. Place milk, sugar and vanilla bean in a saucepan and heat over low heat.
2. Meanwhile, mix part of the milk with the cornflour and egg yolks until there are no more lumps.
3. When the milk in the pan is warm, but not yet boiling, add the egg mixture.
4. Keep stirring until the cream thickens and let it boil for a minute.
5. Pour into a bowl and immediately cover with plastic wrap. The foil should be on top of the pastry cream to prevent skin from forming.
6. Let cool and mix well before using the cream.

Enjoy!
