Instructions
- 1
Make the pastry cream first so it has time to chill. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups whole milk over medium heat until steaming and small bubbles appear around the edges — do not boil. Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl until pale and smooth, about 1 minute.

Slowly pour about half the hot milk into the yolk mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the cream thickens and large bubbles burst at the surface, about 3–4 minutes. The cream is ready when it reaches 170°F (77°C) on an instant-read thermometer and coats the back of a spoon with a clear line when a finger is drawn through.
