Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Is this 500 g format enough for a fruit tart and a few cream puffs?
Yes, with 500 ml of water for 200 g of mix, you get around 700 g of cream, more than enough for a standard-sized tart or a dozen cream puffs.
What is the difference compared with the 1 kg format?
The recipe and yield per kilo are identical; the 500 g format is suitable for occasional production, while the 1 kg format is for more regular use in a bakery kitchen.
Can this cream really be baked in the oven without becoming runny?
Yes, its baking stability allows it to stay in place on puff pastry or shortcrust pastry while baking, unlike traditional pastry cream.
