Toasted Marshmallow Flavored Pastry Cream

This pastry cream provides a subtle toasted marshmallow flavor, and can easily give pastries extra warmth and comfort. This pastry cream can be used in any pastries in place of conventional pastry cream, but I highly recommend using this pastry cream when making pastries that highlight the pastry cream (such as: chou à la crème).
The recipe as written will make just enough pastry cream to fill one large pastry bag.
