The ultimate vanilla sauce

Spread the love

Ingredients for 3 servings:

  • 1 vanilla pod(s)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 250 ml cream
  • 2 egg yolks

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Split open the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Place the vanilla pod, seeds, sugar, and cream in a saucepan, mix, bring to a boil, and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod. Whisk the egg yolks and whisk them into the cream. Heat the mixture slowly until just before boiling, whisking vigorously until it begins to thicken. Allow the custard to cool, stirring frequently. Then refrigerate. (Don’t panic if the sauce isn’t particularly thick yet—it will thicken in the refrigerator.) This pairs particularly well with the apple puff pastry tarts!
