    Sooo delicious!

    I personally love pastry cream! (As I love everything I make… juuuust kidding!)
    This is just a regular pastry cream and how I make it. It’s really tasty and sweet, made with real vanilla and lemon zests to give some nice sweet and lemony flavor. You can use it for several purposes like fillings of bignés, bombolone, fruit tarts, crema catalana etc…

    • 1 cup of Milk
    • 2 tablespoon of Arrowroot starch
