Vanilla Pudding Pastry Filling Fast Recipes

VANILLA PUDDING PASTRY FILLING FAST

Steps:

• Whisk milk and instant pudding and let sit till thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Fold into Whipped Heavy Cream.
• Fill pastry bag and pipe into desired shell, or spoon into trifle, etc.
• Now, I use this in my cream puffs and top with drizzled chocolate. I use these with a hint of cinnamon inside dessert crepes and top with berry sauce (see recipe for mixed berry sauce). I use this as a frosting for cupcakes, and brownies. The possibilities are endless.
• This is enough for one cream puff recipe. Feel free to double or triple according to your needs.

VANILLA PASTRY CREAM

Steps:

• Place the milk, half the sugar and the vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Combine the egg yolks and the remaining sugar in a bowl and whisk until light in color. Add in the flour and the salt, mix to combine.
• When the milk just begins to boil, remove from heat and remove vanilla bean. Very slowly dribble the hot milk into the yolk mixture, stirring all the time. When about half of the milk has been added, place all of the yolk mixture into the saucepan over medium heat. Using a spatula or a whisk, mix the pastry cream as it heats, making sure to reach all of the corners of the pan when you stir. Bring the mixture to a boil. Let boil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. The mixture will be thick.
• Remove from heat and add the butter. Strain if you wish for a smoother cream. Place into a bowl and cover directly with plastic wrap to stop a skin from forming on the cream. Chill and use within a few days.

CHEATER NO-COOK PASTRY CREAM
