Directions Vanilla Cream or Sauce
Directions
-
Heat 2 cups milk in a heavy saucepan over low heat until simmering, about 5 minutes.
Beat remaining 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch together in a bowl using a whisk until dissolved, add sugar and egg yolks and beat until smooth. Slowly pour milk mixture into simmering milk while gently whisking the simmering milk, simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and stir vanilla extract into sauce.
Pour the sauce through a wire mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cornstarch lumps. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the sauce, ensuring the plastic wrap is touching the sauce to prevent a skin from forming, cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Move sauce to refrigerator and chill completely cold, at least 30 minutes.
