1 cup milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 cinnamon sticks
4 large egg yolks

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3 1/2- to 4-inch-long cinnamon stick, broken in half
6 large egg yolks
5 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of fine sea salt

Tips:

  • 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.
