Yield Makes about 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons pistachio paste

Steps:

  • Whisk yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Put milk and cream in a medium saucepan, and heat over medium heat until just about to simmer. Reduce heat to low. Whisk 1/3 cup milk mixture into yolk mixture; pour mixture back into pan. Whisk in pistachio paste. Raise heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes.
  • Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a stainless-steel bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let stand until cold, stirring occasionally. Creme can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality pistachios. This will give your crème anglaise the best flavor.
  • Toast the pistachios before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a heavy saucepan. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the crème anglaise from scorching.
  • Cook the crème anglaise over medium heat. Do not boil it.
  • Stir the crème anglaise constantly. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Strain the crème anglaise before serving. This will remove any bits of pistachio or egg white.

Conclusion:

Pistachio crème anglaise is a delicious and versatile dessert sauce. It can be used to top pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or fruit. It can also be used as a filling for cakes or pastries. With its rich, nutty flavor and smooth, creamy texture, pistachio crème anglaise is sure to please everyone at your table.
