About Pastry cream

Pastry cream, or crème pâtissière, is a rich custard filling originating from French cuisine. It's made by combining milk, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch or flour, and vanilla, resulting in a thick, silky texture. This versatile cream is widely used in desserts, such as éclairs, tarts, and layered pastries, offering a sweet and creamy flavor. While pastry cream is a source of protein from its egg content and calcium from milk, it is also high in sugar and calories, which can contribute to excessive calorie intake if consumed in large amounts. It contains little to no fiber and is relatively low in nutrients compared to its calorie content. Moderation is key when enjoying pastry cream, as it can be part of a balanced diet when paired with lighter, nutrient-rich options like fresh fruit.
