Creme Anglaise
Report
Creme Anglaise is a classic French sauce that is used in many desserts.

Ingredients
- 1 vanilla bean split lengthwise
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Split vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Carefully scrap seeds.
- In a saucepan over a medium heat, bring 2 cups heavy cream to a bare boil with vanilla bean and scraped seeds.
- Remove cream from heat. While cream is cooling, beat the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a mixer, until thick ribbons form.
- To temper the egg yolks, and keep them from curdling, gradually add 1 cup warm cream to egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Add tempered egg yolk mixture back into saucepan, with remaining cream and stir constantly over a medium heat, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and strain through a fine strainer. Remove the vanilla pod. (I rinse it off and dry it, then add it to a bowl of sugar)
- Cool custard slightly and then cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- I've given you an estimate of nutritional value, but this is a hard one to calculate. A "serving" can be 2-3 tablespoons or a 1/4 cup.
- I'm assuming a 1 1/2 ounce serving per person for this recipe.
- For a smooth sauce, use a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps.
