This recipe makes a good pastry cream which can be used in many desserts and pastries. Lemon, orange or rum flavoring may be substituted for the vanilla if you prefer. If you add some chopped chocolate (or mini chocolate chips) to the pastry cream, it makes a yummy filling for cannoli shells, recipe #40291. Prep time does not include chilling time.
