Time 35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups heavy cream, divided
5 large egg yolks
¾ cup cornstarch
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, egg yolks, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine remaining 2 cups heavy cream, sugar, and lemon juice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to dissolve sugar. Bring to a gentle boil; boil until mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add egg yolk mixture slowly, whisking constantly until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Mixture will break; pour into a glass bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the mixture to prevent skin forming. Let cool completely at room temperature.
  • Pour cooled mixture into a mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip until thick and creamy.

The lemon pastry cream was a little runny. I think I should have cooked it for a few minutes longer.

This lemon pastry cream is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.
