Tips
- Just let the pitted cherries bubble with a bit of sugar
- Make a slurry with the lemon juice and cornstarch and as soon as it thickens, you're done
- Stir the roux until it forms a smooth, thick ball
- Add the eggs in one at a time to the roux
- Spread the choux pastry into your tin, mess it up a little bit and let it go wild in the oven
- Because the butter is melted directly into the cream, it stays soft and luscious even straight from the fridge
- Once it's set, it's going to be like a jelly so you need to beat it until it's smooth and glossy
- A little bit of whipped cream at the end just gives the cream structure
- Turn the choux lid right side up then place on top of the cream, press it down gently to adhere
