VANILLA CREAM OR SAUCE
This is really delicious on its own, but I use it mainly to serve alongside brownies, bread pudding, apple pie, berries, or poached pears. You can either make this as a thicker cream or as a sauce. I love it as a cream for berries, poached pears or brownies and as a sauce over apple pie or bread pudding. Serve chilled over warm or cool desserts or just eat it on its own as a custard.

Steps:
- Heat 2 cups milk in a heavy saucepan over low heat until simmering, about 5 minutes.

VANILLA CREAM
This sauce is so delicious....thick and creamy with a satisfying flavor, but is best eaten immediately. So have everthing else prepared, then puree the sauce just before serving. Offer it at the table in a small pitcher to pour over fruit, pudding, cake , or anything else that strikes your fancy. This will keep, well covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

RICH VANILLA SAUCE
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 :^)

Tips:
- Use fresh vanilla beans for the best flavor. Split the beans lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. You can also use vanilla extract, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up faster and hold its shape better.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will be grainy and lumpy.
- Use a heavy saucepan to make the sauce. This will help prevent the sauce from scorching.
- Stir the sauce constantly while it is cooking. This will help prevent it from burning.
- Let the sauce cool completely before using it. This will help it thicken and develop its flavor.
Conclusion:
Vanilla cream or sauce is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. It is a classic filling for cakes and pies, and it can also be used to make ice cream, pudding, and mousse. It is also a delicious topping for fruit and berries. With its rich, creamy flavor and smooth texture, vanilla cream or sauce is sure to please everyone.
