If You’ve Never Had Diplomat Cream, You’re Missing Out!
Light, silky, and absolutely dreamy—that’s Diplomat Cream! It’s the perfect combination of pastry cream (called crème pâtissière in French) and whipped cream, creating a texture so airy and smooth that it melts slowly and deliciously in your mouth.
It’s perfect for filling sponge cakes, piping into éclairs, sweet rolls, and donuts—oh my! Or, if you’re like me, sometimes you’ll just want to serve it with fresh berries (especially when they’re in season!) because it’s that good.
Whenever I make this, I always use real vanilla beans for the best flavor. This is not the time to skimp on vanilla—trust me, the difference is incredible. Vanilla beans can be pricey, which is why I always make the most of them by steeping them in warm milk and cream. This deepens the vanilla aroma, making the pastry cream even more flavorful, and those tiny vanilla flecks? Pure magic.
Once the pastry cream is chilled, I fold in whipped cream, and it transforms into the lightest, dreamiest, most lip-smacking delicious filling imaginable. Use it in sponge cakes, sweet rolls, or honestly—just grab a spoon and enjoy.
You’re gonna love it!
