    Delicious and easy! In the absence of whole milk I used a combination of heavy cream and 2%-worked great.

    I did not have whole milk, however, I did use 2% which is very close. The cream wasn't as thick as I thought it should be, the flavor was ok but if I do this again I will definitely use whole milk and possibly add a bit more flavoring as well.

    Never thought of anything but vanilla pastry cream. Have orange trees and this was perfect. did use vanilla extract instead of bean--too expensive. I see there is a lemon version as well--next time I'll try that; I have lemons too...I wonder about lime?....

    I too had never made pastry cream before, this was so easy to do and it really tasted delicious. I added a tsp of orange flower extract to the mix for extra flavour and used to fill chocolate choux profiteroles, just added a chocolate sauce and had a beautiful desert.
