Italian custard cream

Italian pastry cream is made with milk, egg, and flour that are cooked together to create a rich and thick custard-like cream, flavoured with vanilla or lemon zest. Italian Pastry Cream is one of the basic ingredients used in many Italian desserts and cakes. It’s the creamy filling of many desserts or the base of tarts and layer cakes. This cream is also the filling you find in Italian pastry like the “cornetti” (Italian croissants) or “bomboloni” (Italian doughnuts).
