Sauces can make any savory or sweet dish! This vanilla sauce is a basic sauce that is served in Germany with Apple Fritters and other desserts. This would be great with donuts and cake! Add a shot of rum to give it a little extra flavor pop.
Warm Vanilla Sauce
This vanilla sauce is a basic sauce that is served in Germany with Apple Fritters and other desserts. This would be great with donuts and cakes too! Add a shot of rum to give it a little extra flavor pop.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 4 egg yolks (no whites)
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- optional: a shot of rum
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, whisk the whole milk and granulated sugar and bring just to boiling point. Remove from the heat and allow to steep for five minutes.
-
While the milk is steeping, in a small bowl combine the egg yolks with the cornstarch.
-
Temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in a ladle or two of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Do so slowly so the eggs don't scramble.
-
Add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the hot milk. Heat up again over medium heat and whisk constantly until the mixture slightly thickens.
Optional: If adding rum, whisk it in once the sauce is done.
-
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
