Fast and Easy Coffee Pastry Cream, a creamy delicious Italian coffee filling, perfect for filling cakes, pies and pastries.Coffee Pastry Cream

This month our little group of 4 amazing bloggers (haha including myself) are back and this time we are sharing recipes using almost everybody’s favourite …. Coffee.

Last month we shared our love for Chocolate, which I must say was my favourite, and now it’s coffee’s turn.

Fast and Easy Coffee Pastry Cream, a creamy delicious Italian coffee filling, perfect for filling cakes, pies and pastries.

I have to tell you I actually came up with a couple of coffee recipes but decided to share Coffee Pastry Cream, because I have an amazing dessert you can make with this Pastry Cream coming up.

I am starting to adore Italian Cream, no more lumpy cream for me. Smooth and Creamy as an Italian Bakery.

I thought since we are on the subject of Pastry Cream I would like to share with you my list on how to make the Perfect Pastry Cream.

  1. Use only egg yolks.
  2. Always stir.
  3. Mix dry ingredients before turning on the heat.
  4. Heat the (liquids) milk and cream (if using cream) until hot but do not boil, (unless you are making my other Pastry Cream without cream).
  5. Make sure you have 15-20 minutes of non interrupted stirring time, don’t stop stirring!
  6. Immediately place thickened cream in a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap, make sure it touches the Pastry Cream.
  7. Let Pastry Cream cool to room temperature and then refrigerate.

And maybe one of the biggest tips Don’t throw away those egg whites, make some Lingue Di Gatto or even some Meringue Cookies or how about a nice light omelet?

          Hi Oppa it’s not coffee powder it’s coffee liquid. And no the amount is just right. 🙂

            Oh,,thanks so much. Just assumed as it was in grams it was instant coffee powder. Will definitely try.

          Hi Nancy, sorry there is no alternative, although you may prefer this Classic Italian Pastry Cream. https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/italian-pastry-cream/ or Chocolate Pastry Cream https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/chocolate-pastry-cream/:)

        I just made this and you seriously made it super simple with all of your instructions, tips and measurements! Used a flavored coffee (hazelnut) and it made it taste like nutella (so yum!) I did use partially skimmed milk for all 180ml required and it came out really good!
