  • This cream is made in a few stages: first the custard base, then whipped heavy cream, and finally the two are folded together. The result is a light, airy cream that tastes and feels like slightly melted ice cream. Start with the custard. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it with the sugar and vanillin using a mixer until pale and fluffy. Pour the hot milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, mixing thoroughly until smooth. Add the potato starch and mix again with the mixer until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and set it over low heat. Cook the custard over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a little thicker than sweetened condensed milk. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter, stirring with a spoon until it fully melts into the custard. Cover the surface (to keep a skin from forming) and let it cool completely. Next, make the whipped cream. Use heavy cream — 33% fat or more. For it to whip into a thick cream, it needs to be well chilled, so take it straight from the fridge, add a pinch of salt, and whip with a mixer, starting slow and gradually increasing to full speed. Once the cream holds firm peaks that don't run off the spoon, fold in the cooled custard. Do this gently, a little at a time, so the whipped cream doesn't deflate. Don't use the mixer at this point — fold with a spoon or silicone spatula. Thanks to the cream, the finished filling is cold and ready to use right away for a cake or pastries. Because it's soft and slightly loose, it soaks into the cake layers nicely, giving cakes a creamy flavor and lovely aroma. Enjoy!
