Baking tray - 22 cm
Ingredients
Choux pastry:
• 70g water
• 70g milk (semi-slimmed or whole)
• 60 gr butter
• 100 g flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp sugar
• 3 eggs
Vanilla Custard Cream:
• 2 eggs
• 500ml warm milk
• 130g sugar
• 10g vanilla sugar
• 40g corn flour
• 150g butter, at room temperature
For decoration:
• 1 tbsp icing sugar
• raspberries or strawberries
Method:
Step1 - CHOUX PASTRY
1. Mix water with milk, add butter, salt and sugar. Heat until hot, add sifted flour. Stirring constantly, brew the dough until it gathers into a single homogeneous lump. Warm it up for another 1-2 minutes so that excess liquid evaporates. Transfer the dough into a bowl to cool faster.
2. When the dough has cooled, add eggs one at a time, mixing each egg well into the dough.
3. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, distribute over the parchment, forming small elevations. We bake in an oven preheated to 190C for 15 minutes (depending on your oven) until the cake turns lightly golden. Do not open the oven while it bakes!
Step 2 - VANILLA CUSTARD CREAM
1. Warm the milk, mix the eggs with sugar and corn flour. Mix milk with the eggmix, again pour the cream into a saucepan and brew, stirring constantly for 7-10 minutes at low heat, until a lump-free custard forms. We cover the cream with cling film so it touches the top surface of the custard and wait for the custard to cool down completely.
2. IMPORTANT: The butter and custard must be at room temperature to prevent the cream from separating. Beat the butter for 3-4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of custard each time and whisk well.
ASSEMBLY
1. Put one cake on the bottom of the tray, spread the custard cream on it. Cover with the second cake, tamp it a little with your hands. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or better overnight, so the cake keeps its shape well.
3. Sprinkle the cake with icing sugar, invite everyone to the table and enjoy this incredibly creamy masterpiece.
