I love custard cream.
I love it as a filling for bread or cream puffs. I like it on its own as a dessert too. My little ones are crazy about it too.
I don't like making complicated recipes myself, so I aimed for a simple and easy one.

The key is to keep mixing it with a whisk over low heat.
When it starts to thicken it progresses very fast, so if you stop mixing it will become lumpy.

Ingredients

  1. 70 gramsStrawberries
  2. 1 tbsp★Cake flour
  3. 1 tbsp★Cornstarch
  4. 3 tbsp★Granulated sugar (or castor sugar, etc.)
  5. 150 ml★Milk
  6. 1★Egg (whole egg)
  7. 1few drops ★Vanilla oil (or vanilla essence)
  8. 1★Rum or brandy
  9. 5 gramsButter

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Hull the strawberries and purée.

  2. 2
  3. 3

    Put the ★ ingredients in a small pan, and mix it up well before starting to cook. If you want a really creamy, smooth texture, I recommend straining the mixture through a sieve at this stage.

  4. 4

    Cook over low heat while mixing constantly with a whisk. When it starts to thicken, the hardening process will progress very quickly, so keep mixing!

  5. 5

    When the cream is turning glossy and thick, add the strawberry puree and mix it in well. Turn off the heat and add the butter. Done!

  6. 6

    All the tablespoon measurements are level tablespoons.

  7. 7

    Small whisks and pans are easier to use when preparing this recipe. (See the one on the right in the photo.) Small whisks are very useful. I bought mine at a 100 yen shop.

  8. 8

    When cooling down the cream, press a sheet of plastic wrap right on the surface of the cream. This prevents the surface from drying out and forming a skin.

  9. 9

    If you chill the cream in the refrigerator it will firm up quite a bit, so enjoy it as a filling in bread rolls and so on. You can use it in many ways.

  10. 10

    By the way, I don't strain the cream since it's extra work, but it still comes out very nicely.

  11. 11

    I think it's best to use very ripe, bright red strawberries for the best fragrance and flavor.

  12. 12

    I tried using 80 grams of strawberries too, and the results were even more aromatic and flavorful. The cream was still thick enough too.

  13. 13

    I also have a "banana" version in my custard cream series.
