Basic Cream Filling Recipes

BASIC CREAM PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Whisk all of your ingredients together in a pan.
• Cook on high until it is almost to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and take off when it has started to boil again.
• Cool thoroughly with plastic wrap placed directly on top of filling.
• Spoon into 2 pre-baked and cooled pie shells.
• Note: Use the flavor of jello pudding to correspond to the pie you are making, banana for banana cream, chocolate for chocolate cream etc. Sliced bananas, coconut, grated chocolate etc. can be added to the filling or the bottom of the shells before adding cream filling.
• Bonus note: Mix 1 cup Coolwhip with 1 pint of whipping cream after whipping to stabilize the cream. It will taste like fresh cream and will not get watery. You can cover your cream pies in this whipping cream and it will stay nice for as long as the pie lasts.

CREAM FILLING

Steps:

• Combine flour and milk. Bring to a boil and stir until thickened. Cool completely.
• Cream everything else with an electric mixer. Beat in the cooled milk until the sugar is dissolved.

BASIC CREAM FILLING

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan until very hot but not boiling. Mix the sugar, flour and salt together in a bowl, stir in the hot milk and beat until well blended. Pour back into the pan and continue to stir vigorously over low heat for 4-5 min., until very thick and smooth. Add the egg yolks and cook for a few more minutes. Cool, stirring from time to time, then add the vanilla. You will have about enough filling for an 8 or 9 inch three-layer cake. Banana cream filling - omit the vanilla. Mash 1 large banana and beat it until smooth. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice, stir the mixture into the cooled filling.
