preparation
1. In a saucepan, bring the milk and vanilla to a simmer. In a bowl large enough to also hold the hot milk, whisk together the sugar, egg, and egg yolks for about 1 minute, or until smooth and pale. Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. Ladle about half of the hot milk into the egg mixture, while stirring constantly with a whisk. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan, place the saucepan over medium heat, and stir with a whisk until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Place the hot pastry cream in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it cool. If you are in a hurry, beat the pastry cream in a stand mixer with a nonreactive paddle attachment until it reaches room temperature.
2. With the mixer’s whisk attachment, beat the pastry cream on medium speed. Add the cubes of butter, about one-third at a time, waiting until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. Add the flavoring, starting with the smallest recommended amount, to taste. Beat on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
3. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. When mousseline has been stored, you may need to whip it for a few minutes to re-aerate it before using it in a cake.
