Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cup(s) heavy whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoon(s) sugar
2 - egg yolks
7 ounce(s) white baking chocolate, chopped
2 - vanilla beans
- toasted sliced almonds, optional

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup cream and sugar; cook over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to pan, whisking constantly. Cook over low heat until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°, stirring constantly. Do not allow to boil. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until smooth.
  • Split vanilla beans lengthwise. Using the tip of a sharp knife, scrape seeds from the center into chocolate mixture; stir. Transfer to a large bowl; cool 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, beat remaining cream until soft peaks form; fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon into four dessert dishes. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour before serving. If desired, sprinkle with almonds.
