Vegan Coconut Pastry Cream

The Coconut Pastry Cream is a clear demonstration of how vegan pastry can achieve levels of creaminess, stability, and flavor comparable to those of a traditional pastry cream.

This recipe originates from the technical approach we developed in our article How to Make Vegan Pastry Cream?, where we delve into the intelligent substitution of animal-based ingredients without sacrificing professional quality.

In this vegan and gluten-free preparation, the substitution of the yolk is a key point not only on a structural level but also on a sensory level. Dispensing with the egg allows the flavor of the coconut to be expressed with greater purity, without aromatic interference, achieving a cleaner and more defined cream. To do this, we combine Natur Emul and Gelcrem Caliente, two texturizers that provide stability, shine, and a silky texture, even after cooling or preservation processes.

In addition, we incorporate coconut fat, a fundamental ingredient to reinforce the sensation of unctuousness in the mouth and replicate the fat function that the yolk traditionally provides. The result is a vegetable pastry cream with character, intense in coconut flavor, perfectly balanced, and ready for professional applications such as fillings, dessert bases, tartlets, or pastry preparations.
