Vegan Raspberry Pastry Cream

The Raspberry Pastry Cream is a natural evolution of the technical work we developed in our article “How to make a vegan pastry cream?”, where we address how to reinterpret the great bases of classic pastry from a plant-based, precise, and fully professional approach. This recipe focuses on the fruit as the main ingredient, without sacrificing the texture, stability, and functionality expected of an authentic pastry cream.

Made with raspberry purée, this cream incorporates a portion of rice drink to balance the natural acidity of the fruit and approach the characteristic smoothness of a traditional pastry cream. The decision to work with real fruit is key: it not only intensifies the aromatic profile but also allows maintaining a clean and recognizable flavor, respecting the identity of the raspberry in every bite.

From a technical point of view, the structure is built thanks to Natur Emul, which acts as an emulsifier providing creaminess and stability, and Gelcrem Caliente, responsible for an effective, shiny, and homogeneous thickening. This combination allows for a smooth and consistent texture, ideal for professional applications such as fillings, inner layers, or dessert bases.

In addition, this recipe opens the door to new possibilities: it is possible to make cold creams working with 100% fruit purée, expanding the range of flavors and uses within plant-based pastry. A proposal designed for chefs who seek technical precision, intensity of flavor, and real solutions for a contemporary, vegan, and creative pastry.
