Crema Inglesa (TM)

---

This is a translation of a recipe in Salsas y Aliños con Thermomix (Susaeta Ediciones) and is very similar to custard.

Ingredients

• 300g milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 75g icing sugar
• A few drops of vanilla essence

Method

1. Add the ingredients to the TM and cook 8 minutes / 90° / Speed 4.
2. The result should be a light sauce, but a little creamy.
3. Pour it into a bowl and keep stirring with a wooden spoon until it has completely cooled, to avoid it forming a skin.

Serving suggestions

This is similar to the custard used in pastries but is much lighter and less dense. It has many uses: use it to decorate dishes and also a basis for ice creams and mousses.

Variations

It can be made with different flavours by adding chocolate, caramel, coffee etc to the milk.

Chef's Notes

To save stirring the sauce for ages, just cover it with cling-film to prevent skin formation.
