Vanilla Custard Cream

Vanilla custard cream is truly the ultimate cake base…from this cream start all the variations for our creams.
Suitable for many fillings, the choice is yours!!!
I use it a lot to fill birthday cakes, or to fill cream puffs, cream donuts, basically it’s used in many ways.
At home, I’ve always made it myself, never bought it ready-made and if you want more flavor you can also add some lemon essence and for the vanilla you can use the sachet, but even better if you have liquid essence.
Follow my recipe to make the vanilla custard cream, it’s really very simple.
Try to make this recipe yourself and if you should make this or any of my other recipes, send me the photos and I will publish them on my page with your name.

My name is Francesca Mele, and "Lo scrigno del buongusto" is the name of my blog. I am a true Abruzzese, and after several years with a cooking website, I decided to start a blog. I have been online for a total of 12 years now, so many of you have known me for a long time! I love cooking and I am neither a chef nor a professional cook; I simply have a passion for cooking, preparing, and inventing new dishes.
