HI there ,

I'm in search of a recipe for Buttercream using heavy cream . I am trying to replicate pastry cream , trying new things ..hehe

If anyone has a recipe for buttercream using heavy cream it would be greatly appreciated .

TIA

Julie

Have you ever tried making Italian meringue or mousseline buttercream? While they use egg whites and butter vs egg yolks and cream, it still has an "airy" taste and texture. I didn't know if you chose pastry cream specifically b/c of the "light" texture but these would be worth trying if you didn't already have them in mind.
FYI - you can always sub milk or water for hvy cream in your reg icing recipes (that use powdered sugar) in my oponion. I do it all the time and the cream cuts the sweetness and also makes the icing just a little fluffier.

I hope this helps

Try a French BC using the egg yolks. That would give you the "eggy" taste of a pastry cream.
