Crème De Mamie

IngredientsPrint recipe

• 4 cups milk (preferably whole milk)
• 12 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 vanilla bean
• 16 fl oz heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the sugar and the cornstarch. Add 2 cups of cold milk and stir.
2. Pour the remaining 2 cups of milk in a saucepan and boil with the vanilla bean.
3. When boiling, remove from heat.
4. Cut the vanilla bean in the length and remove all the seeds and put them back in the hot milk. Discard the vanilla bean.
3. Pour the first mixture (cold milk, cornstarch, and sugar) into the hot milk. Bring to a boil again and keep stirring with a whisk until you obtain a creamy mixture. Remove from heat. Transfer cream to a bowl cover with plastic wrap directly on the cream (to prevents cream from crusting). Allow to cool completely.
4. In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to peaks. Fold in the vanilla cream.
5. Reserve in the fridge until serving time.

You can eat this cream as is, with fresh fruits, with a warm chocolate cake, or with crêpes...
