Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups milk
1 vanilla bean, split
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the milk and vanilla bean and bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks, sugar and salt until thick and light-colored, and set aside.
  • Discard the vanilla bean and very slowly whisk the hot milk into the yolk mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan, set over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens just enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 10 minutes. (Do not overcook or the custard will curdle.)
  • Immediately remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Serve warm or chilled. (If necessary, rewarm the sauce in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water.)

I'm not a big fan of vanilla. Do you have any other flavor suggestions?

I'm thinking of adding some chocolate chips to the sauce. Do you think that would work?

Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk?

I'm allergic to eggs, so I can't make this recipe. :(

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say how long to cook the sauce or at what temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out lumpy. I'll have to try again.
