Vanilla dessert cream

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 500 ml milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg yolk
• 50 g sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 25 minutes

Bring the milk to a boil in a large saucepan and remove from the heat. Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until well combined. While whisking, add about half of the milk and return everything to the pan. Stir on low heat until thickened. About five minutes; it’s very important not to let it boil. Then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into a bowl and place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top of the cream. Allow to cool and then refrigerate for about two hours. The cream can also be made a day in advance. It tastes delicious with soufflés and other desserts that require a cream. If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can boil a split vanilla pod with the milk. Then scrape out the seeds from the pod and continue as described above. If you don’t want any black spots at the end, pour the finished cream through a fine sieve.
