The pastry  cream   is
enriched    with    butter  and
hazelnut    praline paste.  It  is
very    important   that    the
butter  be  soft    when    you
add it  to  the pastry  cream
so  that    it  will    mix in
properly.   Otherwise   there
will    be  lumps.  You can
remove  it  from    the
refrigerator    the day before
to  give    it  time    to  soften.
