Simple Creme Anglaise image

This recipe is so easy, it is fool proof....and doesn't make a gazillion amount of sauce. I was making my fruit crisp and didn't have any ice cream, so this was a perfect alternative. This light and creamy sauce is a perfect accompaniment with bread puddings, pudding cakes, crisps and cobblers.

Time 15m

Yield 1 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup 2% low-fat milk

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together sugar, egg and vanilla.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is steaming. Gradually add a bit to the egg mixture, stir to combine, then add to the saucepan. (By adding a bit to the egg mixture first, it will help prevent getting scrambled eggs).
  • Stir over low heat, stirrig constantly, for 5 - 8 minutes or until slightly thickened. Do not boil.
  • Pour the sauce into a bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the sauce. Chill.
