Question from Lynn Simpson
How long can it be kept under refrigeration before use? And will it need to be stirred in some fashion? Also, my printed copy of the recipe asked, "Spotted a problem? Let us know!" I don't see a place on this web page to do so. Here is the problem. The ingredient list states 90g of sugar. I can only find 80g of sugar in the recipe (40g + 40g). Thank you!

Hi,

In terms of keeping pastry cream/pistachio cream in the fridge, the general recommnendation would be for up to 3 days.
And it is generally not advised to freeze it as it will split / de-emulsify.

Thanks for pointing out the 90g / 40g issue. That's looks to be a result of automatic rounding to the nearest 10g.
1.5 oz is in fact closer to 45g than to 40g. We will inform the publisher so it can be fixed to avoid confusion.

Re:
"Spotted a problem? Let us know!" That appears at the bottom of every recipe in the app and on a mobile web browser.
If you are using a non mobile web browser (ie. a computer) there is a chat icon at the bottom right of the screen which can be used to send feedback on any recipe. But we should probably show the "Spotted a problem? Let us know!" link even on the web to encourage helpful feedback like this (and it doesn't need to appear on the printout!)

3 ounces of sugar is approximately equal to 85 grams, but it's important to note that the exact conversion may vary slightly depending on factors like the type and density of the sugar. Adjusting the amount of sugar to taste is a common practice in cooking and baking, so there's no need to consider it an error.

The error is just the inconsistency of the 'missing' 10 grams, which is certainly a potential source of confusion, though I am sure using either 2x 40g or 2x45g will be fine in practice.

Perhaps worth noting that 1 oz is precisely 28.3495g, since both are units of mass. This isn't affected by the type or density of the sugar.
