Chinese Rolled Brioche Pastry Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound brioche dough
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Roll out the brioche dough into a large rectangle, about a 1/4 inch thick.
3. Spread the pastry cream over the entire rectangle.
4. Roll the dough tightly into a log.
5. Cut the log into 1-inch slices.
6. Place the slices onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave a little space between each slice.
7. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the brioche is golden brown and cooked through.

Pastry Cream:

1. Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan and place over medium heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and all-purpose flour.
3. Add the egg yolks to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
4. When the cream begins to simmer, slowly pour it over the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
7. Strain the pastry cream through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
8. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pastry cream. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using.
