Cocoa powder – I used unsweetened cocoa powder.

All-purpose flour – also known as plain flour.

Corn starch – also known as corn flour.

Eggs – I used large eggs.

Milk – I used full cream. Skim and plant based milk will also work.

Butter – make sure it’s chilled and make sure it’s cubed for the pastry cream. Make sure the melted butter is cooled slightly before making the glaze.

Vanilla Extract – Always use good quality vanilla extract when baking, it makes a huge difference. I have a great recipe here for it if you’d like to try your own!
