Strawberry Custard Cream
- 70 grams Strawberries
- 1 tbsp Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar (or castor sugar, etc.)
- 150 ml Milk
- 1 Egg (whole egg)
- 1 few drops Vanilla oil (or vanilla essence)
- 1 Rum or brandy
- 5 grams Butter
- Hull the strawberries and puree.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
- All the tablespoon measurements are level tablespoons.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- By the way, I don't strain the cream since it's extra work, but it still comes out very nicely.
- I think it's best to use very ripe, bright red strawberries for the best fragrance and flavor.
- I tried using 80 grams of strawberries too, and the results were even more aromatic and flavorful.
- The cream was still thick enough too.
- I also have a "banana" version in my custard cream series.
- I also have a "chocolate" version in my custard cream series..
