Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 1.8 oz sugar
- 1.8 oz cornstarch
- 1 lemon zest
- 5/8 cup milk
- 1 cup vegetable whipping cream
Steps
Place the egg yolks in a saucepan, add the sugar and whisk a little by hand.
Add the cornstarch and continue whisking.
Mix the milk with 3.3 oz of cream and continue working, then move to the stovetop.
Add the zest of a whole lemon, only the yellow part, and keep stirring until it thickens, it takes a few minutes.
Keep in mind that the lemon will cause lumps, meaning the cream won’t be as smooth as the classic pastry cream, remove from the saucepan and let it cool.
When the cream is cold, whip the cream and combine the two mixtures. I worked everything with an immersion blender, store in the fridge until use, it keeps for about 3 days.
Bon appetit
