Here is a recipe to prepare pastry cream in approximately 3 minutes, ideal for when you need a quick filling for your desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1\/2 liter of milk (500 ml)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 egg yolks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">100 g sugar (1\/2 cup)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">40 g cornstarch (1\/3 cup)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prepare the ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a microwave-safe bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dissolve the cornstarch in a little of the milk to form a smooth paste without lumps. Add this mixture to the rest of the milk and stir well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Combine the mixture:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add the milk and cornstarch mixture to the bowl with the yolks and sugar. Stir everything well until completely combined. Add vanilla.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cook in the microwave:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place the container in the microwave and cook on high power for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave (be careful, it will be hot) and beat the mixture well with a hand mixer or spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the container back in the microwave and cook for another minute. Remove and beat vigorously again. Repeat the process once more, cooking in 1-minute intervals and whisking between each interval, until the custard has thickened. This should take about 3 minutes total, but may vary depending on the power of your microwave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cool the pastry cream:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once the pastry cream has reached the desired consistency, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming while it cools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Use or store:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let the custard cool to room temperature. Then, you can use it immediately or refrigerate it until needed. Stir well before using if it has settled or separated slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid lumps:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Make sure to completely dissolve the cornstarch in the cold milk before combining it with other ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microwave:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The key to preventing the cream from cooking unevenly is to whisk well between each cooking interval.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personalization:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0You can personalize the pastry cream by adding lemon zest, orange or even a touch of liqueur to give it a unique flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This custard recipe is extremely quick and provides you with a delicious, smooth filling for your sweets and desserts, perfect for when you&#8217;re short on time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making custard quickly is possible using the microwave, which significantly reduces cooking time without compromising too much on flavor or texture.
