Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s make our delicious pastry cream if you’re up for it! You can either go for a store-bought option, but homemade really takes it to the next level. In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add in milk and cook over medium heat while whisking constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let it cool completely in the refrigerator. This creamy layer will bring the nostalgic taste of Boston cream pie right to your rolls!
