<\/p>\nPastry cream is a traditional Italian dessert with a slightly old-fashioned flavor.<\/p>\n
It is often used as a filling or as a base to be added to other preparations, but it is worth remembering that it is also an excellent dessert, to be served in small individual cups, with no need to add anything other than a decoration to make the presentation more attractive (fresh fruit, chopped biscuits, chocolate chips or hazelnuts, whipped cream or a sauce).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I was a little child I played in a corner of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
I thought I was a public office employee. Even though I was 4 years old and had never been in a public office. I drew, simulated writing, talked to imaginary people who came into my office and, of course, talked to nonna about my game and her cooking.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t go near the table and the cooker. But still, every now and then, I could clear some bowls of leftover cream or dough, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n
As I grew up, I gradually began to approach first the table and then the heats.
\nI could follow some preparations, not many to be honest. Among them, I could mix the pastry cream.<\/p>\n
Feeling invested with an important job, I did it with great care. I stirred with a spoon, slowly but not too much, passing well close to the edges of the pan.And I remember that every time the liquid turned solid becoming custard, I was so happy and proud.<\/p>\n
Today, I no longer use a spoon but a hand whisk to mix.
\nBut the recipe is the same I used to eat as a child, the one I learned to make and still prepare as I did then.<\/p>\n
Never stop bringing the cuisine of memories to the table.<\/p>\n
Cook with love, Monica<\/p>\n
