Vanillesoße (German Vanilla Sauce)
Description
Vanillesoße, a traditional German vanilla sauce, combines whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla (from a scraped bean or extract), granulated sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt. The egg yolks are first whisked with sugar, cornstarch, and salt to create a smooth mixture. Meanwhile, the milk, cream, and vanilla are heated with attention to prevent scorching or boiling.
A portion of the hot milk mixture is tempered into the egg mixture to avoid curdling, then the combined mixture is returned to the saucepan and cooked over medium heat until it thickens. The sauce is continuously whisked during heating to ensure a creamy consistency and prevent lumps. After thickening, it is strained through a fine mesh sieve for a smooth finish.
This sauce can be served warm or chilled and keeps covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. It offers a gentle vanilla flavor with a rich, silky texture that complements many desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup milk whole
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean scraped or 1 tablespoon quality pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large yolks
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt. In a medium saucepan bring the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent it from scorching. Whisk 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Pour this egg mixture into the saucepan, constantly whisking it into the hot milk to prevent clumping. Heat the mixture over medium heat until thickened. Do not let it boil. Strain the vanilla sauce through a fine mesh sieve. Serve immediately or let it cool and store covered in the fridge. Will keep for up to 3 days. Can be served cold or reheated to serve warm. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of Vanillesoße.
