Muslin cream is a variation of pastry cream enriched with butter, giving it a silky texture and delicious flavor. This cream recipe is ideal for filling cakes, profiteroles, éclairs, or as a base for cold desserts. Its origin is attributed to French pastry, where it is valued for its versatility and ability to stabilize preparations.
The combination of egg yolks, milk, sugar, and cornstarch creates a firm pastry cream base, while cold butter is added at the end to achieve a lighter, airier cream, perfect for decorating or filling. Additionally, beating it after refrigeration yields an even fluffier texture.
This recipe is perfect for those looking for an elegant yet simple dessert. It is suitable for beginners, as it only requires patience in beating and following the steps carefully. It is also ideal for bakers seeking an alternative to traditional buttercream.
You can flavor it with coffee, chocolate, or liqueur, adapting it to your taste. You can also reduce the butter if you prefer a lighter version.

In a pot, place the milk, yolks, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla essence, mix until integrated. Bring to moderate-low heat without stopping stirring until you get a cream (approx. 5 to 8 minutes).
Transfer to a bowl and whisk at medium speed until no steam comes out and is warm. Add the butter cut into squares and fry, whisk until the butter is integrated. Cover with transparent film in contact with the cream to prevent a thick layer from forming. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.
After this time in the refrigerator, beat at medium speed until you get a paler color and an even creamier and more airy texture.
