Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Milk
¼ cup Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract
3 tbsp Cornstarch
1 pinch Salt
2 drops Egg yellow color ((optional) )

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste or extract. Stir well until cornflour is well combined.
  • Cook on medium heat stirring constantly. Once the milk is hot, lower the heat to medium-low to prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Continue to cook stirring constantly until the milk thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon.Pro tip - The more you cook, the thicker the pastry cream will become.
  • At this point, you can add an egg yellow color if you want it to look like the classic pastry cream. Pro tip - I don't use any color in this eggless version. So you can see that the color is white.
  • Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming at the top.Pro tip - If a skin forms on the pastry cream it will become very lumpy.
