How To Make Almond Cream - A Simple and Delicious Recipe for Tarts and Pastries

Almond Cream is a versatile staple in the pastry kitchen. I'm going to show you the steps in preparing this simple and versatile recipe. It is made with equal parts of sugar, butter, almonds, and eggs with a bit of flour or cornstarch as well. It is used for a multitude of pastry and dessert applications such as croissants aux amandes and in making Crème Frangipane. It is also used to fill galette des rois, pithiviers and frangipane tarts.
Note: Almond cream cannot be consumed raw. It is meant to be baked.

[@TheOtherSideOfTheStove]

Chef I love how you are so detailed. Nice tip that you don't need to add flour or cornstarch because the eggs will help set it. I have been recharging for the last three weeks during the Holidays. Happy New Year Chef.

[@margaretwilliams2372]

Hi Chef- I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I was hoping at some point if it’s possible for you to do a video on making almond bear claws, please?

[@NNSSS11]

Thank you for this! Can i do this with a hand mixer?

[@BiteandChiu]

Absolutely!

[@cookityoutuber]

Tasty

[@BiteandChiu]

Thanks!

[@sg30008]

Looks divine..how much almond meal can i use instead of grinding the almonds..same grams as the blanched almonds..? Thanx..

[@BiteandChiu]

Absolutely, same weight in grams works. Thanks for watching!

[@yudhanaaimthikul1875]

Thanks. Look so good but it’s raw. If I want to use this cream as a topping for pancake, etc, should I bake it or heat it on stove top ?

[@BiteandChiu]

Thanks so much. Almond cream is meant to be baked after as there's raw egg in the mixture. You can bake it in a tart shell with berries or pears. It's great in croissants and baked to make almond croissants. I have a video for that too!

[@alyaasiri590]

it's working with chocolate bonpon? also am l can make it without eggs

[@narayanikhanna5745]

Looks so delicious. Is there anyway I can avoid egg and what can I use instead? I am surrounded with vegetarian and vegan people and I want to make almond croissant for them.

[@BiteandChiu]

Great question. Although I haven't made it there are versions where apple sauce is used to replace the eggs. Other versions use aquafaba (bean water). Either substitution will work but will provide a more delicate texture. Cheers!

[@aishwaryverma7859]

One question. Do wo consume it raw, saw it a few vids where people just fill the almond cream after baking the croissant

[@BiteandChiu]

Thanks for your question, almond cream is meant to be baked as it contains raw eggs and flour that needs to be cooked.

[@ar.a.dumlao]

How long can you store a homemade almond cream? What is its shelf life. Thank you in advace for the response ☺️

[@BiteandChiu]

Thanks for watching. Almond cream is good for a week in the fridge 3:32.

[@moduqueRN]

Do you have any suggestions how to use this cream in other recipes besides croissants?

[@BiteandChiu]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. Almond cream is meant to be baked after as there's raw egg in the mixture. You can bake it in a tart shell with berries or pears. It's great in croissants and baked to make almond croissants. I have a video for that too!

[@Dingdongaccountant]

Can this be put inside the pastry before you bake it?

[@BiteandChiu]

Absolutely. Its meant to be baked.

[@bibinek9950]

Can I use this to fill a cake?

[@BiteandChiu]

Thanks for your question. Almond cream is meant to be baked and not consumed raw.

[@BapakMemasak]

Chef, can almond cream be use for making macaroons?

[@BiteandChiu]

Hello! Almonds and icing sugar can be used in macaron for the tant pour tant. Some similar ingredients are shared but the formula for macarons is different ☺️. Have a great day!

[@BapakMemasak]

@@BiteandChiu oh okay i see. It is about how much in scale meisurement of ingredients, right? Thank alot for your sharing knowledge.

[@ThatsTiffanyMarie]

Is this recipe a good filling for use in between cake layers or does this particular recipe needs to be baked because of the eggs?

[@BiteandChiu]

Hi Tiffany, because of the raw eggs it definitely needs to be baked. If you are looking for a filling for cakes consider using buttercream kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2mYZXiui8h3sK8 or even a custard filling kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJOufXirqrupfdU

[@christinewarren5659]

Hi Tiffany, I had the same question. I thought about baking the cream in a water bath like a custard to use it like a filling for cake or store bought croissant. Maybe it would work?

[@Saharaqq11]

Thanks h go or the recipe but can you please give us the amount of ingredient in box below 🙏

[@BiteandChiu]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The quantities are listed in the description.

[@louelajaneportugal13]

plz recipe

[@MrScubacat]

How about almond meal!

[@brianlee6136]

Stupid question is this ok to eat just as is since you used eggs? Or do you bake it

[@BiteandChiu]

As luscious as it looks you definitely want to bake it. Cheers!

[@brianlee6136]

@@BiteandChiu how long so you usually bake for like frangipane until golden?

[@BiteandChiu]

Yes!

[@soniahazy4880]

🎼🛸💎🙏🌟🌈🤩🦋

[@LaS88709]

But the egg is raw

[@BiteandChiu]

Yes, as mentioned almond cream is meant to be baked after as there's raw egg in the mixture. You can bake it in a tart shell with berries or pears. It's great in croissants and baked to make almond croissants. I have a video for that too!
