Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 lemon zest
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 cup vegetable whipping cream
Steps
Place the egg yolks in a small pan, add the sugar and beat a little with the hand whisk.
Add the cornstarch and continue working with the whisk.
Combine the milk with 1/2 cup of cream and keep working, then move to the stove.
Add the whole lemon zest, only the yellow part and always stir until it thickens, it only takes a few minutes.
Keep in mind that the lemon will cause lumps, meaning the cream will not be as smooth as the classic pastry cream, remove from the pan and let cool.
When the cream is cold, whip the remaining cream and combine the two mixtures, I used an immersion blender, store in the fridge until its use, it keeps for about 3 days.
Bon appetit
