Steps:
- Combine the milk, cream, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, and allow to steep for 30 minutes, until flavors are infused.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Return the milk mixture to medium heat, and bring to a simmer; reduce the heat to low. Whisk about 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, and return it to the saucepan. Cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- Strain the creme anglaise through a fine sieve into a bowl set in the ice bath, discarding the cinnamon sticks. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Strain through sieve into small bowl; cool. Cover; chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead; chill.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the crème anglaise.
- If you don't have a vanilla bean, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Be careful not to overcook the crème anglaise, or it will curdle.
- To test if the crème anglaise is done, dip a spoon into it and run your finger across the back. If the line holds, the crème anglaise is ready.
- Crème anglaise can be served warm or cold. It is delicious on its own, or you can use it to top desserts such as pies, cakes, and ice cream.
Conclusion:
Crème anglaise is a versatile and delicious dessert sauce that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful sauce that will impress your guests. Whether you serve it warm or cold, crème anglaise is sure to be a hit.
