Making a pastry cream and lightening it up with whipped cream is our favorite method of making a custard. It is, as you write, incredibly smooth and silky--and one of the only things worthy of a vanilla pod. Your vacation sounds lovely, even if the trip back was a nightmare.
I just baked the shortbread and used ground ginger and candied ginger. So yummy, thanks for the inspiration!
Very nice. Can’t wait to make it.
Love the simplicity of this!
