Remarks

Regardless of what you may read elsewhere, crémeux is not a kind of confectioner's custard (french pastry cream) as it contains neither flour nor cornflour. It is more of an egg custard, though really in a class of its own.
Do be sure to use an unsweetened fruit coulis, or reduce the sugar in the recipe to compensate, or your crémeux will be too sweet.
