Vanilla dessert cream is a rich and delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. This simple yet delicious recipe combines the smoothness of milk, the richness of eggs, and the aromatic essence of vanilla and nutmeg. It's a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for other sweets.
Instructions:
- Measure out 2 cups of milk and set aside.
- Crack 3 eggs into a mixing bowl.
- Measure 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf sweetener.
- Measure 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract.
- Measure 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of milk.
- Add the 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf sweetener to the milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and heat the milk until it is hot but not boiling. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- While the milk is heating, whisk the 3 eggs in the mixing bowl until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the milk is hot, remove it from the heat.
- Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk into the whisked eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining hot milk in the saucepan, whisking continuously.
- Place the saucepan back over medium-low heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This should take around 5-10 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat once the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in the 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg until well combined.
- Pour the dessert cream into a serving dish or individual serving cups.
- Let it cool to room temperature, then cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert cream is fully chilled.
- Once chilled, the Vanilla Dessert Cream is ready to serve.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
Tips:
- To ensure a smooth texture, whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding them to the milk mixture.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract for a more intense and pure vanilla flavor.
- For a creamier consistency, consider using whole milk.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less stevia leaf sweetener according to your taste.
- Serve the dessert cream chilled for the best experience.
