Crème Pâtissière / Pastry Cream Recipe

Here's a recipe for crème pâtissière, a custard for pastries and tarts. You can use it on a baked pastry case and top with fruit, or bake in danish pastries or in tarts such as tarte au pruneaux or tarte à la crème, a custard pie. Included in this video is a recipe for a levened pastry, pate levee and for tarte a la creme. The footage of the pastry and tart was filmed on a web cam, so there's a drop in picture quality.

I love vanilla slices, there's definitely an art to eating them, let alone making them. Hope they turn out well for you.

Wanting to make some vanilla slices. I am disappointed with supermarket ones. So will fill mine with plenty of creme patissiere and cook my puff pastry properly instead of eating that bland soggy stuff. So thank you for the instructions.
