French pastry cream

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, vanilla till pale yellow around 4 minutes. Add the flour, whisk until the mixture is smooth
  • Brink the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the milk to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly (make sure to add the milk slowly, mix, before adding more). Return the mixture to the saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, while stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Boil the mixture while still stirring constantly for 1 minute.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, press plastic wrap directly on the surface (to prevent the top from hardening). Let cool to room temperature for about 1 hour. It's best to refrigerate the cool pastry cream for 1 hour before using. The pastry cream can be chilled, covered, for up to 3 days.
  • While the pastry cream is cooling, wash and cut the fresh berries.
  • Melt the current jelly in a small saucepan until liquid and smooth
  • Spread the cool pastry cream evenly in the baked and cool pie shell. Decorate with washed and cut berries.
  • Brush the fresh berries with the melted jelly and allow it to set for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving
