A vanilla bean gives the best flavour by far to pouring custard, or crème anglaise. But you can stir 2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla into the cooled custard instead.
Ingredients
- 1 vanilla bean
- 2 cups 10% cream
- 5 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Preparation
In bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar; slowly whisk in cream mixture. Return to pan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, 8 minutes. Strain into bowl, pressing seeds through sieve and discarding pod. Place plastic wrap on surface; refrigerate until cold. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days.)
Additional information : Variation
White Chocolate Pouring Custard: Replace vanilla bean with strips of rind from 1 orange. Stir 2 oz (60 g) white chocolate, chopped; and 1 tbsp (15 mL) orange liqueur (or orange juice concentrate) into custard. Whisk until smooth. Discard rind.
