Cream Anglaise is a basic recipe used to prepare many desserts, including ice cream, Créme Brulé, Bavarian cream, and other sweet pastries. This wonderful cream can be served as a vanilla sauce on fruit dishes such as strawberries and the like, or as a sweet and delicate custard. If you'd like to, you can swap the vanilla extract with 1/4 tsp. ground bean.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Serves: 8

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients for créme anglaise:

Milk - 1 cup

Egg yolk - 2

Sugar - 1/4 cup

Vanilla Extract - 1/4 tsp.

Method of preparing the créme anglaise:

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat making sure not to bring it to a boil.
Whip the yolks with the sugar and the vanilla in a medium bowl. When the milk is hot, pour it over the egg yolk mixture while stirring constantly and then transfer the batter back to the pot.
Return the pot to the stove, simmer over a low flame and mix with a wooden spoon until you get a slightly thick and sticky cream.
When the cream is ready, remove the pot from the heat and strain it through a strainer into a clean, dry container to ensure that the cream is smooth and without lumps.

Chef's Tip:

Serve this cream as a hot or cold custard or use it in recipes for confectionaries that require these creams such as ice creams, creme Brulé and more. This will last 3 days in the fridge.
