Ingredients

  • large egg yolk 
  • teaspoon ground ginger 
  • cups cup heavy whipping cream 
  • servings ice cubes 
  • pinch salt 
  • 0.7 cup sugar 
  • cup milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • pot
  • sieve
  • plastic wrap
  • kitchen thermometer
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Whisk cream, milk, sugar, ginger, and salt in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to help sugar dissolve. When mixture begins to bubble around edges of pot, remove from heat.
  2. Fill a large metal bowl halfway with ice and cold water and set aside. Put egg yolks in a bowl, whisk lightly, and whisk in about 1/2 cup hot cream mixture.
  3. Pour egg-cream mixture back into pot and whisk to blend. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until mixture reaches 160 to 165 on an instant-read thermometer and thickens a little bit, 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Strain crme anglaise through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl and set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Stir frequently until chilled, about 10 minutes. Chill, plastic wrap pressed against surface, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
