Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Bring the pod and seeds to a boil in a saucepan along with the milk, cream, and sugar, stirring constantly. Whisk the egg yolks well in a bowl. Take 1/3 of the hot milk mixture and add it to the egg yolks, whisking well. Add the beaten egg yolks to the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan. Heat everything together over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Immediately remove the sauce from the heat and pour through a fine sieve. Allow to cool. Before serving, whip the sauce with a hand blender until frothy. To make a mocha sauce, simply add 2-3 tablespoons of instant espresso powder to the still-hot vanilla sauce and stir to dissolve.
