GERMAN BUTTERCREAM

The twist with this version of buttercream is that it is made using custard or pastry cream (crème pâtissière) as a base. The finished, cooled custard or cream is then whipped, and room temperature butter is added until the mixture is light and smooth. And it’s delicious!

YOU WILL NEED

150ml (5fl oz) whole milk

115g (4oz) granulated sugar

3 large egg yolks

1 tsp cornstarch

200g (7oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature

½ tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt

1. Combine the milk and half the sugar in a medium-sized saucepan. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, the yolks, cornstarch, and two tablespoons of the milk mixture until it looks foamy and smooth.

2. Place the saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Once this has happened increase the heat to medium-high, then remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the first bubbles appear. While whisking the yolk mixture continuously, slowly pour the hot milk mixture into it to make the custard base.

3. Return the custard base to the saucepan. Place it over a low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens considerably. Be sure not to let the custard boil.

4. Pour the custard onto a heatproof plate or shallow container. Immediately cover the custard with cling film (plastic wrap), pressing the film directly against the surface. Allow the custard to cool completely.

5. Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle, or in a medium bowl if using a handheld mixer, until smooth, fluffy, and lightened in colour (usually about two minutes). Add the cooled custard one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and the salt and mix for about three minutes or until the buttercream looks thick, smooth, and creamy.
