Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of coarse salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 piece (1 inch long) vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • Pour milk into a heavy-bottomed, nonreactive saucepan. If using the vanilla bean, scrape seeds from pod halves into the milk using the tip of a knife. Add pod halves. Place over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edges of the pan.
  • Remove from heat and slowly pour milk mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until slightly thickened and coats the back of the spatula, about 5 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and set bowl in ice water bath. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Stir in vanilla extract, if using.
  • Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl, cover, and refrigerate until serving.

I love that this recipe uses real vanilla beans. It gives the sauce a much richer flavor than using vanilla extract.
