This is the worst vanilla pastry cream recipe I've ever tried. It was too thick and had a weird flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pastry cream turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pastry cream is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This pastry cream is so versatile! I've used it in cakes, pies, and tarts, and it's always a hit. It's also great on its own, served with fresh fruit.

I'm not a big baker, but I wanted to try making my own vanilla pastry cream. This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.
