French Dessert Recipe/Easy French Desserts
1. In saucepan, add milk and vanilla and bring to a simmer.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar to blend.
3. When milk starts to simmer, pour a little hot milk into the egg yolk mixture and mix well using a wooden spoon.
4. Stir the mixture into the saucepan of hot milk over low heat. Stir constantly making sure you scrape the sides and corners of pan.
5. When mixture starts to appear glossy and your spoon feels slippery across the bottom of the pot, remove from heat and stir approx 2 minutes more. The custard is done when it coats the spoon and you leave a trail when you swipe your finger across.
4. Important! If you cook it too long it will curdle, so it's a fine line. If it curdles don't worry, just pour through a fine mesh sieve.
5. Cool before serving for mousse desserts or other cold desserts. Or, serve warm depending on your dessert by keeping it over warm (not hot) water.
