Variations and Alternatives

You can enhance your Thermomix Pastry Cream by adding some grated lemon zest or, if preferred, orange zest. This will give your cream a delightful citrus aroma typical of Italian pastries.

Tips

To achieve a beautiful yellow color for your Thermomix Pastry Cream, we recommend using eggs specifically meant for pasta-making, which typically have deep yellow yolks. These are similar to the ones used in traditional Italian pastry-making.

Storage

The Thermomix Pastry Cream can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days in an airtight container. Make sure to cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation.
