Mousseline Cream, Fancier Than Pastry Cream - Easy To Make Dessert


Mousseline Cream, Fancier Than Pastry Cream

Cr?me mousseline, mousseline cream ? now I?m eating this and I?m loving it!


What cream do you use for your cream puffs? Pastry cream or whipped cream? Now here goes an alternative for your cute little puffs: mousseline cream. It?s much more gourmet, glorified pastry cream which is used for desserts at better restaurants and cafes in Paris. Cream mousseline can be used for cream puffs, roll cakes, fraisier, mille-feuille, etc. In Paris when I buy a mille-feuille at a bakery, I expect pastry cream filling. When I order a mille-feuille at Cafe de la Paix, I expect cream mousseline filling with real vanilla bean. Mousseline cream is more for resaurants and there is a good reason. Unlike pastry cream cream mousseline is very delicate with uncooked butter in it. It should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed in 24 hours. And here goes how to make mousseline cream.

Today I?m using pure vanilla extract and I will explain in the note below how to use a real vanilla bean for mousseline cream. First, warm milk in the pan. Cream egg yolks and sugar. Then sift in flour and whisk to combine. Finally mix in vanilla and a pinch of salt.

To lighten up the egg yolk mixture, pour 1/4 of the warm milk into the bowl. The milk should be just warm, not hot. If the milk is boiling hot, then the egg yolk will be cooked. So be careful. Now stir in the cream mixture into the warm milk. And whisking constantly and thoroughly, bring into a boil. Whisking is very important to make homogeneous cream without lumps.

The cornstarch will be cooked first, then flour. So patiently and rigorously whisk until the cream thickens.

Out of heat, add in half of the butter and combine. Then transfer to a heat-proof bowl and let cool. When it?s cooled to room temperature, whisk in softened butter until smooth.
