Vanilla Cream and Fruit Verrines

Pastry cream is a smooth preparation made with sugar, cornstarch, eggs and milk. To make it successfully, the secret is to mix it constantly as it cooks, then add a bit of butter to make it even creamier. In this recipe, serve it in a cup (also known as a verrine) with whipped cream, fruit and cookie bits to create a simple dessert that looks like a million bucks.
