Pastry creams<\/strong> are a family of preparations with a creamy consistency widely used in the pastry world. Classic pastry cream is made from milk flavored to taste and sweetened, thickened with egg yolk and starch<\/mark><\/strong> (usually cornstarch), which is heated to a minimum of 80 \u00b0C so that the starch and yolk coagulate. It is used as a filling or topping in pastries, as a dessert itself, or as a dessert sauce. We find it with different degrees of thickness depending on the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also serves as a base for other types of creams, such as Mousseline (by adding butter), Diplomate (by adding whipped cream) and Chibouste (with meringue).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From vegetarian to vegan pastry cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If we can achieve a vegan pastry cream<\/strong> and get a result very similar to the traditional pastry cream. However, to do this, it will be necessary to use specific products and know well the proportions that we are going to use. Below, we explain it in detail so that all vegan baking lovers<\/strong> can apply this knowledge on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What limitations would we encounter within vegan pastry? Well, basically two: <\/mark>egg and milk.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk is the least of the problems, it would be enough to replace it with any other vegetable drink, such as soy or rice. In that, one is free to choose their favorite option. The challenge lies in the substitution of the egg yolk, since we will need to provide the necessary technical characteristics so that the cream has a texture equal to the original.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, in fact, there are technological starches<\/strong> that are useful for thickening creams. And we can use them to achieve a much more interesting texture and a deeper flavor. In short, to replace the egg we will need to add some fat<\/strong> to the preparation, as well as a product that facilitates the emulsion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explain the function of egg yolk<\/strong> in a cream, we take as a reference the basic pastry cream
indicating the products necessary to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natur Emul: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can replace the emulsifying part of egg yolk, lecithin. It is an important function to achieve a correct emulsion of the cream. We can also use soy or sunflower lecithin instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Deodorized coconut grease:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg yolks contain approximately 30% fat. It is important to provide creaminess to the cream, it intervenes in the emulsion and acts as a transmitter of flavors. We can use various fats. One good option is to use deodorized coconut fat, another is to use shea butter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gelcrem Hot<\/strong> \/ Gelcrem Cold:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They help us to thicken creams in hot or cold conditions, significantly improving texture and stability, as for example in freezing. Cold creaming allows to improve the flavor of certain creams by avoiding heating, such as fruit creams, keeping the flavor fresh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
