Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup whole milk I use organic, not worth skimping on lesser %
  • ½ cup whipping cream I use organic
  • 2 inch piece vanilla bean split, seeded (totally worth the splurge)
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons sugar organic, all natural, cane

Instructions

  1. In a heavy bottomed medium saucepan, combine milk and whipping cream. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; then add the bean itself. Bring milk mixture to a simmer, remove from heat.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until light yellow. Gradually, by ladleing a little stream at a time, whisk hot milk mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Return custard to saucepan, stirring constantly over low heat until custard thickens and leaves a path in the back of a spoon when finger is drawn across, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to boil.
  3. Place a fine mesh strainer over a small bowl and pour custard through strainer. Serve warm immediately or allow to cool, then cover and chill.

Notes

  • Lasts up to 5 days in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. 
  • Lasts up to 5 days in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. 
  • My most recent obsession, Chocolate Bread Pudding, drizzle over the top and I guarantee, it will take it over-the-top!
  • Over a warm berry or fruit dish of any kind; pies, crisps, cobblers, etc.
  • Allow fresh sliced berries to swim in this delicious sauce
  • Drizzle on pound cake, chocolate or otherwise.
  • On top of Molten Lava Cakes
  • Treat it like you would ice cream, heavy cream or whipping cream -- if you would put one of those three things on a dish, you would put Crème Anglaise!
  • Oh and serve warm or cold! I dare you not to lick the spoon!
  • Did you know that Creme Brulee is baked creme anglaise!! You should try my easy recipe.
