Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup milk
½ cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste ( or vanilla extract)
3 Tablespoons sugar
4 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Add the milk and half and half to a pot and bring to a slight simmer. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl. Slowly ladle all the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking quickly. Adding it too quickly will cook the egg yolks and cause the sauce to curdle.
  • Return to the mixture to the pot and heat over medium low until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. About 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat, add the vanilla once it cools.
  • Strain the sauce if desired. Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator.

It has become a family tradition on the first snow day of the year and if that doesn't happen, which can be the case here in central Virginia, we know it'll be the featured dessert at Easter and anytime a comfort food is in order.

RICH VANILLA SAUCE



Rich Vanilla Sauce image

Okay, so my husband decided to make crepes with raspberries and vanilla sauce for me and the kids for Valentine's Day... but he couldn't find a recipe that he liked for vanilla sauce. And let it be said that I am a HUGE vanilla sauce fan... I could eat it all by itself with a spoon! Let me just say that the vanilla sauce that he came up with was absolutely divine! I tried to drag the recipe out of him to post and this is what I got... just keep in mind that he's not the best at measuring things.... "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" technique! Hope I got it right :^)
