Vanilla cream
A super easy vanilla cream for when you're craving something sweet but light.
Ingredients
- 500 ml milk
- 50 g flour
- 4 egg yolks medium
- 75 g sugar fine
- 1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
- 10 blueberries (optional)
Instructions
- If you’re using a vanilla pod, split it lengthwise and with a knife blade scrape the seeds. Put the milk, vanilla pod and its seeds in a saucepan over low heat. Or if you’re using the vanilla bean seeds paste, just add one teaspoon to the milk.
- When the milk is hot, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid and let it rest for a few minutes so that the vanilla releases its flavor, after that remove the vanilla pod.
- Put the yolks in a bowl, add the sugar and mix with a whisk until light in color.
- Sift the flour, gradually add it to the mixture of yolks and sugar and mix carefully until completely homogenous.
- Gradually pour the warm milk over the mixture and mix with a whisk until smooth.
- Put the liquid mixture obtained back in the pan and boil the cream on low heat for about 10 minutes or until you get a creamy composition (if you have a food thermometer, the temperature of the final cream should be 82°C).It is very important to stir the cream continuously during boiling, in order to get a silky cream, without lumps.
- Once ready pour the cream into a bowl and immediately cover the surface of the vanilla cream with food-grade plastic wrap (the foil is placed directly over the cream).Let the cream cool completely.
- Serve it in a glass with some bluberries on top! Enjoy it!
