Vanilla Cream Recipe

Ingredients

2 large egg yolks 

1/4 cup sugar 

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch 

Pinch of salt 

1 cup whole milk 

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

Preparation

Whisk yolks until smooth. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add milk in a slow, steady stream. Cook, stirring, until mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes.

Pour 1/3 of milk mixture into yolks, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thick, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla.

Pass vanilla cream through a fine sieve into a bowl. Press plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
