Super light vanilla custard cream | Diplomat Cream

I came across this recipe when I wanted to make a pastry filling that didnt feel too dense and fatty and boy was I happy when I found this

Diplomat cream is basically a firm vanilla custard made lighter by the addition of whipped cream, the flavour is vanilla, its not in-your-face sweet and it tastes so decadent!

You can use it to decorate dessert because it pipes beautifully and of course, also use them as filling for profiteroles, eclairs, fruit tarts, donuts, the list goes on and on!

Like any custard, this will last 2 or 3 days in your refrigerator :)

a good heavy bottom saucepan to prevent burning your custard:

Recipe can be found in my blog!

I tried this recipe and it's HEAVENLY. I just loved it. It's the best tasting and the best texture wise of all pastry creams. I used it as a filling for a Karpatka (which traditionally calls for a butter based cream which I really dislike). It came out perfect. My previous attempt with diplomat cream failed because it was missing the gelatine which is a crucial step. Thank you for a great video!

Hello! I’ve been trying to find a pipeable creme diplomat and I found your video. I do want to ask, for gelatin, if I was to use powder form, how many ml of water should I mix with a tsp of gelatin to mix into the custard? I don’t have gelatin sheet where I am. Thank you!

I would like to make some cheesecake style crepes I'm going to try this Diplomat cream in it

Omg this looks amazing! But its hard to fine gelatine here. Does this works well with agar-agar powder? If it does, how much should i put in?

[johnrogers]

Great stuff! Is there an alternative to gelatin? Thanks.

Hi. Will this work without the gelatin?
