Simple Creme Anglaise Recipe

2 · Oct 16, 2013 · 3 Comments

Creme Anglaise Recipe // Hi all of you Whipperberry fans! It’s me Jesseca from One Sweet Appetite here to talk Holiday’s. It’s almost that time of year. You know… That time when you are starting to think of great recipes to share at holiday parties or dinners? If you are anything like me, you are probably wanting to make a great impression and serve up something that is going to be easy but also make a flavorful impact on your visitors. Luckily, I have you covered with this simple creme anglaise. You can whip it up the day before and serve it as a dipping sauce or drizzle over some Vanilla Pound Cake, which I happen to have up on my site today!  You will never believe how quick this recipe is or how quickly it disappears. The wonderful aroma of vanilla will fill your house and get your senses working while it gently cooks. Everyone will be drooling in anticipation!

Start by whisking together two egg yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar. You want the color to lighten to an off white. Fill a 9×13 pan with ice and water. Set a medium sized bowl in the center. Set that aside and move on to the next step.

Combine 1 cup of half and half with 1-1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract. Heat until small bubbles begin to form around the edges.

Slowly drizzle your half and half into your egg mixture. Whisk to combine.

Return to the pan and cook on low heat until just slightly thickened.

Immediately pour into the bowl that you placed in the ice bath earlier to stop the cooking process. Serve now for a warm drizzle or refrigerate for a cooler custard sauce later.

My husband decided the cooled down version is great to eat all on it’s own. I, however, prefer it as a dipping sauce for that Vanilla Pound Cake I mentioned earlier! Both can be made the night before to save on time. Which might be convenient during all of the crazy family parties that are sure to be starting soon! Thanks for letting me take over your site today Heather! Hopefully I’ll be seeing some of you soon over at One Sweet Appetite!

    Dipping the cake into the creme anglaise, instead of anglaise on top of the cake,, brilliant idea : )

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry

Not to knock commercially prepared applesauce, but when you have the opportunity to enjoy homemade applesauce, you will know the difference. It’s sweet and tangy with the perfect texture. Not to mention the fact that it harmonizes well with many different notes on your palette AND, it’s super easy to make! #applesauce #applesaucerecipe #homemadeapplesauce
