Categories : Cakes
Serving size: 1 servings 3 Egg yolks 1 ts Vanilla extract 2 tb Sugar 1 c Unsalted butter 1/2 c Whipping cream - at room temperature 1/2 c Milk 1/4 c Confectioners' sugar WHISK YOLKS AND SUGAR TOGETHER in a mixing bowl until smooth. Combine cream, milk and vanilla in a pot, place over high heat. As soon as mixture boils, remove from heat and slowly pour over the yolks, stirring. Replace mixture in a pot, place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. When the mixture has a consistency that coats the spoon, remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Continue to stir as the mixture cools. Be very careful not to overcook or the yolks will curdle. Cool to room temperature. Place the butter and confectioners' sugar in a mixer and cream together. Slowly add the cooled cream mixture until you have achieved a light, creamy frosting consistency. Makes 2 Cups MICHAEL ROBERTS - PRODIGY GUEST CHEFS COOKBOOK -----
