Vegan Pistachio Pastry Cream

This recipe is part of the technical work we developed in the article “How to make a vegan pastry cream?”, where we address in depth how to adapt a classic preparation of professional pastry to a 100% vegetable approach, without sacrificing the intensity of flavor or the stability of the texture.

In this version of the pistachio pastry cream, the nut is the absolute protagonist, thanks to the use of our pistachio paste, a key ingredient that provides a deep, authentic and persistent aromatic profile, fully respecting the identity of the nut.

From a technical point of view, the egg yolk is replaced by Natur Emul, which reproduces the emulsifying function without interfering with the flavor. The structure and body of the cream are achieved with Gelcrem Caliente, guaranteeing a smooth, stable texture suitable for professional applications. To reinforce the sensation of creaminess and, at the same time, lighten the whole, we incorporate a balanced combination of coconut fat and oil, achieving a silky cream that is easy to work with and has excellent performance in fillings and assemblies.

This vegan pistachio pastry cream is thus added to the collection of recipes in the article, along with the chocolate, coconut and raspberry versions, demonstrating that vegetable pastry can be technical, precise and, above all, intensely flavorful.
