Tips
Mixing the filling is easier if you ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. It yields a smoother batter, allowing everything to mix quicker and easier.
Tips
Use a sugar thermometer to make sure the filling reaches 83°C. This is important to make sure the yolks have fully coagulated, leading to a thicker, custard-like consistency, so you get the desired texture in your filling.
