Chocolate Cups with White Chocolate Pastry Cream

Labels: { , , }

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Pastry Cream, a very versatile cream used to fill cakes, pastry shells or as a filling for those cute chocolate cups. It is quite simple to make at home, and can be easily flavoured many different ways including chocolate, coffee, with liqueurs, lemon or any extracts, although vanilla remains the most common.

  • 300 ml Whole milk
  • 1 Vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 3 Large egg yolks
  • 35 g Green bean starch (or cornstarch)
  • 0,2 g Pure stevia extract powder (or 50 g sugar)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp Orange liqueur, optional
  • 100 g White chocolate, cut into chunks
  • Dark chocolate cups
  • Fresh berries
  • Lemon balm
  1. In a saucepan, heat the whole milk, vanilla bean and seeds over medium heat until simmering.
  2. Combine the cornstarch, stevia extract powder, salt and egg yolks. Once the milk has come to a simmer, remove the vanilla bean and add 1/3 of the milk into the egg mixture and whisk until combined and smooth.
  3. Now return it to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Whisk it constantly for 3-5 minutes until thick. Remove from the heat and add in orange liqueur if using and white chocolate chunks. Whisk until smooth. Press a plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled. Fill the chocolate cups with the pastry cream and garnish with berries and lemon balm leaves.

So elegant and love that the pretty chocolate cups are edible with that luscious pastry cream! Hmmm....gonna have to find a way to make those cups. I have some choco shells, but they're not as cute as these!! :)

Oh Angie - these cups are GORGEOUS! That pastry cream sounds so fantastic!!! So decadent! I could sub out coconut/almond milk instead of regular milk to make this lactose free? So so good!

Your chocolate cup cakes are things of beauty, arranged artfully and I'm sure must taste divine. I had not idea there were so many flavors to choose from in pastry cream.

Love the way you save calories in this delicious dessert using stevia instead of sugar. But what do you think about replacing stevia to xylitol? Or is it possible to use almond milk instead of normal milk?
