English whipped cream

Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Making English custard correctly can be quite challenging, but the result speaks for itself! Desserts made with it are very delicious! Therefore, I suggest preparing the custard step by step, without rushing, and you will succeed. The finished dessert can be served at the table.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Let's get started! Using a mixer, beat the egg yolks with sugar in a high saucepan until thick and white and foamy.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Pour the milk and cream into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds with a spoon, and add them to the milk mixture. Place the saucepan over low heat. Heat the mixture until just before boiling, but do not let it boil.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Using a whisk, gently incorporate the milk mixture into the egg yolks. Place the saucepan with the resulting mixture over a water bath, continuing to whisk constantly. Under no circumstances allow the mixture to boil, otherwise the egg yolks will curdle.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Check the readiness of the cream as follows: a thin layer of cream should remain on the spatula, and when you run your finger across it, a trail should be left behind. After this, I recommend straining the cream through a sieve into a clean container. As a result, you will have 750 milliliters of ready-made custard cream.

   Step 5

   Tip! If the custard happens to be too runny, you can try adding a starch mixture — mix 1 teaspoon of starch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir until a paste forms. After that, however, the custard should be cooked a little longer until thickened.
