Uses and yield
- Before baking: spread a thin layer over a tart shell, then add the fruit.
- After baking: fill cream puffs and éclairs, or fill sponge cakes and doughnuts.
- Loosen with milk for a rounder texture, or flavor it with vanilla, coffee, praline, or lemon.
- For a quick diplomat cream, fold in a little whipped cream or mascarpone.
- Base recipe: 200 g mix for 500 ml cold water, whisked for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Full sachet: 500 g mix for 1.25 L water, yielding approximately 1.75 kg ready-to-use cream.
Please note: Let the cream rest for 5 to 10 minutes after whisking before using it: it will continue to firm up slightly, ensuring optimal stability when piping or filling.

Frequently asked questions
Is this 500 g size enough for a fruit tart and some cream puffs?
Yes, using 500 ml of water with 200 g of mix gives you approximately 700 g of cream, more than enough for a standard-sized tart or a dozen cream puffs.
What is the difference between this and the 1 kg size?
The recipe and yield per kilogram are identical; the 500 g size is suitable for occasional production, while the 1 kg size is better for more regular workshop use.
Can this cream really be baked in the oven without becoming runny?
Yes, its bake stability allows it to remain in place on puff pastry or shortcrust pastry while baking, unlike traditional pastry cream.
