Indulge in the Richness: How to Make Irresistible Crema Inglesa con Monsieur Cuisine
Crema Inglesa is a classic dessert sauce that adds a touch of richness and sweetness to any dish. With Monsieur Cuisine, making this delectable sauce is easier than ever. Follow this recipe to create a smooth and creamy Crema Inglesa that will elevate your desserts to a whole new level.
Ingredients:
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Before you begin, make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go. Separate the egg yolks from the whites and set them aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and vanilla bean. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is just about to boil, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix the Egg Yolks and Sugar
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and slightly thickened. This will help the Crema Inglesa to have a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 3: Temper the Eggs
Slowly pour a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. This process, known as tempering, helps to prevent the eggs from curdling when they are added to the hot liquid.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Once the egg yolks have been tempered, pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Temperature: Low heat
Step 5: Strain and Chill
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the Crema Inglesa through a fine mesh sieve to remove the vanilla bean and any lumps. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until ready to use.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once chilled, your Crema Inglesa is ready to be served. Drizzle it over your favorite desserts like cakes, puddings, or fresh fruit. The rich and creamy texture of this sauce will add a decadent touch to any dish. Enjoy!
