Place the Gelatine Powder in a small bowl and mix in a little bit of very cold water (check the gelatine package for the recommended water quantity - each brand is different).

When it starts to boil, keep whisking for 30 seconds to a minute, then remove from the heat. Continuously whisk until the custard starts to thicken.

Photo 5: pour back the whole mixture into the saucepan and place on the stove low heat.

You can also replace some of the Milk with a fruit Puree like Berries or with some Citrus Fruit Juice, add some Matcha, flavour the cream with Orange Blossom Water. The basic cream is flavoured with Vanilla, but you can basically add any flavours to your diplomat cream! Replace the Creme Patissiere with a Chocolate Pastry Cream for a Chocolate Diplomat Cream or flavour the milk with Coffee (like I did for these Coffee Choux Buns) for example. Some recipes also add butter to the pastry cream, but I personally don't find it necessary - especially when trying to create a very light cream. You can use a dairy-free cream alternative as long as it has enough fat to whip.

The cream needs to contain at least 30% fat to whip. Cream: Heavy / Thickened Cream do not use a light or reduced fat cream as it will not whip.

Depending on how you plan to use the cream, you can increase or decrease the quantity of gelatine to make the diplomat cream more or less stable. Gelatine: I used Gelatine Powder bloomed in a little bit of very cold water, but you can also use Gelatine Leaves.It can be replaced with Plain / AP Flour or other types of starches like Potato Starch or Arrowroot but I find that Cornstarch is what gives the cream the lightest, lump-free texture. Cornstarch: used to thicken the Crème Pâtissière.

This recipe is relatively low in sugar so if you are after a sweeter cream, feel free to increase the sugar content.

Sugar: Caster Sugar or a fine white granulated Sugar.

Keep the egg whites to make Financiers for example!

Eggs: the Egg Yolks only - preferably at room temperature.

Alternatively, you can use Vanilla Extract/Essence but you will loose in flavour.

Vanilla: the best option is always Fresh Vanilla Beans, but as it can be very expensive, the second best option is Vanilla Paste.

I have used Plant-Based milk to make pastry cream before so it does work as well - just be aware that some dairy-free milk are flavoured so it will change the taste of the diplomat cream.

Milk: use Full Cream Milk (Whole Milk) for the best results and flavour.
