Cream Recipes

Cream recipes are standard in any pastry shop. These are delicious as stand-alone desserts and as filling for your creations.

I have a slight preference for the richness of mousses. But don't let it fool you. It's the balanced combination of flavors in a dessert that will be decisive.

The moistness of a cream combines very well with the dryness of puff pastries such as choux. Many of these creams can serve as a supportive or as a main ingredient.

They're often used in pies and pastries. Would a twinky be the same without the filling?

Strictly used as a filling cream, the hazelnut cream combines well with other flavours except maybe sourness.

Its refined taste and texture surpasses the mousse variant.
