High-stability pastry cream with Sosa Gelcrem Hot

"High-Stability" Pastry Cream

Technical Base Recipe - Sosa Ingredients

This base recipe demonstrates the power of Gelcrem Hot: it produces a perfectly smooth pastry cream, capable of withstanding freezing and oven-baking without any syneresis (water separation).

Yield: approx. 1.5 kg of cream
Steps: 1

1 - Cream Preparation

  • 800g Milk
  • 200g UHT Cream 35%
  • 200g Egg yolks
  • 200g Sugar
  • 50g Gelcrem Hot (Sosa)
  • 100g Butter 82%
  • 2g Vanilla pods

Mix the milk, cream, and the scraped vanilla pods. Heat to 80°C and allow to infuse, covered with cling film. Separately, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and Gelcrem Hot until the mixture is homogeneous. Strain the milk/cream mixture and pour it over the egg preparation.

Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat and add the butter in very cold, small cubes. Whisk vigorously, transfer to a flat container, cover with cling film (directly on the surface), and cool to 4°C as quickly as possible.


Technical Note: This base can be adapted with other flavours. Using Gelcrem Hot ensures your cream will not "split" or separate, even after prolonged freezing or reheating.
