Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk

2. When the mixture is hot to the touch, remove the bowl from the heat and whip at a low speed on your food mixer, until lukewarm.
3. Add the butter in several batches, whipping after each addition until smooth and cool.
4. Add 170g of Pastry Cream (creme patissiere) and whip at a low speed, add the pistachio paste and whip until all the ingredients are combined and smooth.
