Bring the syrup to a boil on medium heat or until the temperature reaches 107°C (225°F). Simple trick, once you notice the syrup beginning to boil, remove it from the heat 5 minutes later.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the sugar syrup to slightly cool down to about 60°C (140°F)
In the meantime, pass the egg yolks through a sieve into a clean dried bowl.
Gradually and slowly add the sugar syrup into the egg yolks stirring constantly with a spatula until well mixed. When preparing pastry creams, always add hot to cold, not cold to hot.
Pour the egg mixture back into the pot and cook on medium-low heat stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken about 5-7 minutes. Do not bring to a boil, you can reduce the heat to low.
The ovos moles pastry cream is ready when you pass the spatula across the bottom and leaves a clean streak with both sides separating.
Transfer the pastry cream into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow cooling in the refrigerator until ready to use.
