Time 2h

Yield 2 Cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups heavy cream
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat heavy cream in medium sauce pan over medium heat until simmering, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and salt together. Add cornstarch into mixture, continue whisking until it is a pale yellow and thick.

Return mixture back to sauce pan, continue cooking over medium heat, whisking constantly until thick and glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Take off heat whisk in butter and vanilla.
