Easy Crème Anglaise
(Basic Vanilla Custard Sauce Makes about 2 cups )
1 & 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup heavy cream
2 extra large egg yolks 6 TBL. sugar
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. In a small bowl beat the yolks and sugar together with a whip or beater
until the mixture has thickened and is a pale yellow color.
2. Combine the milk and cream in a small saucepan.
3. Bring the milk mixture just to a boil and turn off.
4. Slowly add approximately 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture to the egg mixture
to temper the yolks, stirring while adding the hot milk. Then, while stirring
constantly with a small whip, add the egg mixture back into the pan with
the remaining milk/cream mixture.
5. Stir mixture constantly over low heat until the mixture thickens to the
consistency of heavy cream or until you can draw a line with your finger
along the back of the spoon and have the mixture leave a trail. If the
mixture stays separated and leaves a distinct path without the two sides
running together the cream is finished.
6. Add vanilla extract and stir occasionally until cooled. Store tightly
covered for up to 7 days in the refrigerator. Thin with a little cream if too
thick for your taste.
Lemon Lust pairs very well with blueberries, strawberries and blackberries.
A slice of brie or other soft cheeses, fresh pear slices, blueberries and a little mache salad
with a light vinaigrette and some crostini make a beautiful anytime appetizer plate!
Try pinching a piece of Brie or Cream Cheese next to a small slice of Lemon Lust and then
serve at room temp with a slice of strawberry on top (YUM)
