Ingredients for Italian Yellow Cream Filling
EGGS
One of the main ingredients for this recipe is eggs. The egg yolks provide the rich and creamy texture of the filling, while the whites help to stabilize the mixture. It is important to use fresh eggs for the best results, as they will provide the best flavor and texture.
SUGAR
To sweeten the filling, we use granulated sugar. This gives the cream filling the perfect amount of sweetness without being too overpowering. It also helps to thicken the mixture as it cooks.
CORNSTARCH
Cornstarch is a key ingredient in this recipe as it helps to thicken the filling and give it a smooth and velvety texture. Make sure to sift the cornstarch before using it to prevent any lumps in the filling.
MILK
Milk not only adds creaminess to the filling but also helps to thin out the mixture. We recommend using whole milk for a richer flavor, but you can also use low-fat milk if desired.
RUM OR VANILLA EXTRACT
For flavoring, we use either rum or vanilla extract. This adds a delicious depth of flavor to the filling. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply substitute the rum with more vanilla extract.
Instructions for Making Italian Yellow Cream Filling
STEP 1: WHISK THE YOLKS AND SUGAR
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. This will help to dissolve the sugar and create a smooth base for the filling.
STEP 2: ADD THE CORNSTARCH
Next, add in the sifted cornstarch and whisk until fully incorporated. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
STEP 3: HEAT THE MILK
In a separate saucepan, heat the milk until it just starts to simmer. This will help to infuse the milk with the flavor of the vanilla or rum.
STEP 4: TEMPER THE EGG MIXTURE
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling when heated.
STEP 5: COOK THE FILLING
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
STEP 6: ADD FLAVORING
Remove the filling from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract or rum. This will add a delicious flavor to the filling.
STEP 7: COOL AND CHILL
Pour the filling into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic touches the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using.
And there you have it, a perfect Italian yellow cream filling ready to be used in your favorite desserts. This versatile filling can be used in cakes, pastries, and even as a filling for cannolis. Give it a try and impress your friends and family with this traditional Italian treat.
