What a nice treat to prepare for someone special. A sweet layer of figs, covered with a rich dense vanilla cream.. I have used this Vanilla Cream recipe several different ways; filling for cream puffs, spread between cake layers, and on it's own served with a spoon. This is a favorite at Debbie's house and all come a running when it's time to enjoy. You know who you are... :) Thank you for this sweet delicate goodness! Vanilla Cream Filling

Choose a jam of your preference. I used organic fig jam, a nice mix with the delicate cream.

Oh my goodness, does that look good! The recipe looks much like my Sicilian grandmother's recipe for creampuffs. But the pie looks incredible! Great idea!
This looks delicious. I'm clipping it to make real soon.
Enjoy! Yes, try it also with cream puffs. This recipe is very firm, but if you'd like the cream more pudding like, try 90 grams of cornstarch...
What a wonderful website and beautiful pictures -- a delicious looking pie, and I love that basket of blackberries a couple of posts back -- Yummy! Thank you!
