pastry cream
Cooked egg custard
Pastry cream is a thick, rich custard used as a filling in pastries, éclairs, cream puffs, and tarts.
Made by cooking milk, sugar, eggs, and flour or cornstarch until thickened, it sets firm enough to hold its shape when sliced.
Vanilla is the classic flavoring, though chocolate and other variations exist.
Also called crème pâtissière.
