Creme Diplomate / Diplomat Cream
The French Diplomat cream or creme diplomate is a classic base of vanilla pastry cream (vanilla custard) mixed with a light whipped cream. It is also called Crème Madame.Creamier than Chantilly cream but lighter than pastry cream.It gives an elegant balance that pairs perfectly with delicate desserts.This diplomat cream recipe is by far my favorite version of pastry cream for berry pies or choux pastry.Bon apétit!you may also like: Fresh berry pie, Chantilly Cream
