VANILLA CREAM OR SAUCE



Vanilla Cream or Sauce image

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.

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



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 :^)

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.
