High FODMAP
Pastry Cream
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Pastry cream combines milk, eggs, sugar, and starch cooked into thick dessert fillings. Whole milk delivers significant lactose that concentrates significantly during cooking and reduction. Commercial preparations frequently add stabilizers that compound overall FODMAP burdens. Traditional pastry cream remains highly incompatible with elimination protocols.

Replace traditional milk with lactose-free alternatives while maintaining egg and starch ratios safely. Cook gently over low heat while whisking continuously to prevent scorching and achieve thickness. Store finished fillings chilled to maintain stability and prevent skin formation during storage. Substituting carefully ensures tart success while preserving complete digestive comfort.
