Make easy Pastry Cream + Cake Talk

 This custard is a mixture of cooked milk or cream and eggs.  This is your classic filling in boston cream pie, cannoli, tarts, and the classic french cream puff.  This week I did a fun collab with a Tastemade partner. His name is Jac and he run his YouTube channel thevegetarianbaker. He made the cream puff this week and I filled it with my pastry cream.
