- 500 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 gr sugar
- 2 egg yokes
- 45 gr cornstarch
Heat 450 ml of milk and the vanilla extract in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Put the remaining milk, sugar and egg yolks in another bowl. Beat the whole thing well. Then add the cornstarch and mix well.
When the milk with vanilla extract boils, remove it from the heat.
Pour half of the milk into the egg yolk/sugar mixture and mix.
Then pour this in its entirety back into the pan with the milk and bring to the boil. Keep stirring.
The whole is getting thicker and thicker. Let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Place the pastry cream in a bowl and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. This should be pressed onto the cream to prevent a skin on the cream during cooling. When it has cooled down enough, it can be kept in the fridge until use.
Stir well before use to make the custard creamy again.
