Eggless Pastry Cream / Eggless Crème pâtissière

Vanilla pastry cream is usually made with eggs and is a perfect base for many desserts, such as fruit tarts, mousses, Bavarian Creams, and ice-cream. This simple, easy and effortless recipe for eggless vanilla pastry cream, or eggless Crème Pâtissière, opens up a whole new world of desserts for people who can't have eggs. Compared to the classic vanilla pastry cream made with egg yolks, this one is also less on the calories and more healthy to indulge in without losing any of the silky smooth goodness.

Have you looked at a dessert and said wow I wish I could make that but it has eggs. Well, now you can. If you replace the regular egg-based vanilla pastry cream with this eggless vanilla pastry cream. It's easy and no one will believe it's not the classic egg-based Crème Pâtissière.

Healthier Options

Did you know that just by replacing the classic vanilla pastry cream in your favorite dessert to an eggless vanilla pastry cream, you can reduce the fat (calories) by half? Yes!! small changes to your lifestyle are more sustainable than saying - oh no more desserts for me. It's hard to keep up with that. Don't you think? 

We eat eggs at home, and yet often for dessert, I will substitute little things that are negligent like this eggless for the classic. I make pancakes with oil not butter and my kids don't know the difference.
Also, I use milk in my soups, not cream. If you check out my soup recipes you will see a little trick I use to keep the milk from splitting which works great as a thickener too.

Different Crème Pâtissière aka pastry cream based recipes /

Almost everything I have learned in baking has been self-taught. So there were times when I was confused about baking terminologies and French names. I wondered what is Creme Anglaise, Creme Chantilly, Crème pâtissière, Creme Legere, Creme diplomat, etc. Too many creme versions and often quite similar. If you are in the same boat as I was a few years ago, here's a little help for you.

You can create an eggless version for any of these by simply substituting the classic pastry cream with this eggless Crème Pâtissière.

  • Creme Chantilly - is basically sweetened whipped cream.
  • And Creme Patissiere is this vanilla pastry cream made with milk and thickened with egg yolks.
  • Creme Anglaise is often referred to as pouring custard. Basically a runny version of pastry creme. Often used as a sauce over desserts. Made the same way as pastry cream, thickened with cornstarch along with egg yolks until it's a pouring consistency.
  • While Creme Legere is pastry cream combined with Chantilly.
  • Creme Diplomat - is pastry cream or Crème pâtissière with stabilized whipped cream and gelatin. Often extra flavorings are used with the cream when adding it to the creme diplomat.
Eggless Vanilla Pastry Cream or Eggless Crème pâtissière is a perfect base for many desserts such as fruit tarts, mousses, Bavarian Creams Ice-cream, etc. Compared to the Classic made with egg yolks this one is less on the calories and more healthy to indulge in without losing any of the silky smooth goodness.

How does Eggless Crème Pâtissière taste?

I think the professionals know the difference but to my kids, these are both the same. It has the same consistency and thickness and can be used in almost any recipe that calls for the classic Crème Pâtissière

One of the easiest desserts you can make is a fruit tart filled with pastry cream and fresh seasonal fruit as I have done with my blueberry tart or strawberry tart. But, instead of using the classic I use this eggless Crème Pâtissière.

Ah, the color?

The custard starts off in white of course and I add egg yellow food color gel to make it yellow so now my egg-less version does not look any different from the regular classic vanilla pastry cream. I do this only when I need to show the Crème Pâtissière. If its used as an ingredient I just leave it white.

Let's talk ingredients and substitutes (save/pin)

  • Milk - Use regular full-fat milk, not low-fat milk. The milk is one of the main ingredients here, so make sure you use at least 3% fat. Low fat will just not thicken enough.
  • Vanilla - You also must use good quality vanilla for this pastry cream. It does make a huge difference. I use a vanilla bean but you can also use 2 tbsp vanilla bean paste or 2 tbsp vanilla extract.
  • Cornstarch/cornflour - In addition to the egg, this cornstarch will help thicken the pastry cream even more. You can add more or less depending on the consistency of pastry cream you need.

Useful Tips and Tools

  • I like to use a heavy bottom saucepan when making custard-based sauces so the heat is distributed evenly.
  • And use a large mixing bowl enough to accommodate most of the milk.
  • A balloon whisk works perfectly when trying to whip things light and fluffy.
  • Also, always measure ingredients such as starch with the right measuring spoon - no guessing.
  • A silicon spatula works best to scrape the sides and bottom of the pan.
  • Lastly, you must cover the surface of the custard well with a plastic cling wrap.

How to make Eggless Pastry Cream or Eggless Crème pâtissière (Save/Pin)

Ingredients - see below in the recipe card with unit conversions.

Method

  • Combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla.
  • Stir well until cornflour is well combined.
  • Heat on medium heat stirring constantly.
  • Once the milk is hot - low the heat to medium-low to prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Continue to cook stirring constantly until the milk thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  • The more you cook - the thicker the pastry cream will become.
  • Pour into a bowl and cover with cling /plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming at the top.
  • This can be chilled and enjoyed as vanilla pastry cream or used in any desserts as an ingredient.

Frequently asked questions.

What vanilla is best for making Crème Pâtissière?

Ideally, a good quality vanilla bean, vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract would work.
When it comes to custard-based desserts with egg yolks, I love to use the scraping and the whole vanilla bean. This gives a wonderful vanilla flavor and takes away any egg smell from the pastry cream.

Can I make this a dairy-free pastry cream?

You can make a dairy-free custard by simply substituting the milk in the recipe with almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk. Coconut milk is my favorite and I often use it when I make coconut mousse.

Is this creme patisserie gluten free?

Yes, this Crème pâtissière is made with cornstarch instead of flour. In the past, all-purpose flour was often used to thicken custard. And yet, these days, almost everybody uses cornstarch. But, if you are allergic to gluten it would be best to check with the kitchen first just to make sure.

My pastry cream is lumpy.

I prefer to use a whisk and cook pastry cream on medium-low heat to keep things moving and homogenous. If the heat is high and the mixing is not even, the custard can get lumpy. Remove it off the heat - give it a good whisk and place it back on low to continue cooking. Adjust heat accordingly.

My pastry cream is too thin.

Crème pâtissière needs to be cooked until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If you take it off too quickly it will be thin and often undercooked.

My pastry cream is too thick.

Too much starch can cause the custard to be too thick or sometimes doughy. So, always measure the ingredients well and use only the amount stated in the recipe. You can thin down a thick creme patisserie by adding a little whipped cream.

What desserts can I make with vanilla pastry cream?

Here are a few desserts that I have shared with you. Mousse, Tiramisu and tarts are often the most common.

      Hey Ann, Yes you can use alcohol but I highly recommend adding the alcohol after you have taken it off the heat. So make it thicker than you need so when you add the alcohol it will be jus the right consistency. Make sense?

      This makes about 2 cups of pastry cream so yeah it will make a good filling for a 9-inch tart - a scant filling of an 11 inch - perhaps make double the amount - save the extra for chefs treat. I usually make 4 cups at a time and the kids are still cleaning the bowl... it's so good.

    Do you have a recipe for eggless creme mousseline. With normal pastry cream if you add butter it gives it a richer taste also known as creme mousseline, but in you recipe I'm not sure how it would taste if I added the butter?

    Reply

    • Veena Azmanov

      Sneha - I use whipped cream for my creme mousseline not butter. I find butter too rich. I like the lighter taste of whipped cream instead. So I make the pastry cream - chill it - then whip the cream and add my cold pastry cream. Having said that - if you beat the butter until light and fluffy then add the chilled pastry cream - it should work.
