This pastry cream recipe makes a thick and creamy vanilla custard that is perfect for using in cakes, tarts, donuts and other pastries! I know it sounds fancy but pastry cream can be made so easily and tastes so much better than the pre-made stuff. I like to mix my pastry cream with fruit fillings or even fold in stabilized whipped cream for my cream tarts! #pastrycream #vanillapudding #vanillacustard #sugargeekshow #pudding #custard
