Crème pâtissière is an essential ingredient in the French pastry kitchen. The rich golden custard has a delicious vanilla flavour and aroma. The powder is convenient and easy to use, thickens without lumps and is ideal for bakery production. Use it to fill fruit flans or eclairs, or flavour with an extract like coffee and spread between cake layers. Make Grand Marnier or vanilla souffle in a snap, or fruit mousses like strawberry or passion fruit. Create spectacular verrines by layering it in a glass jar with fruit fillings.
