Creme Patissiere, or pastry cream, serves as the filling for a number of our favorite desserts . In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and sugar together in a small bowl. Add flour, and mix until smooth and free of lumps. Thin egg-yolk mixture with approximately 1/4 cup of warm milk.
This sugar-free French pastry cream is the perfect filling for low-carb desserts. It’s easy to double the batch so you’ll have plenty of creme patissiere if you need more. I came up with this recipe while I was working in my new Keto Chaffles book where I used this deliciously creamy vanilla custard pastry filling to make keto approved eclairs.
This low-carb crème pâtissière can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container for up to a week. Do you like this recipe? Share it with your friends!
Just remember to refrigerate this sugar-free creme patissiere as it tends to be runny unless completely chilled. It's best if you leave it to set in the fridge overnight. You can then use it as filling in keto cakes and pies just like regular creme patissiere, or spoon it over summer berries for a quick keto treat. And that's not all!
