Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks until well combined.
Step 3: Gradually pour a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. This helps temper the yolks and prevent them from scrambling.
Step 4: Once the yolks are tempered, pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5: Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to boil the mixture.
Step 6: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cream cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the saucepan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to ensure the cream sets properly.
Step 7: After the cream has chilled, it is ready to be served with your Pandoro cake. Cut the Pandoro into slices and generously drizzle the cream over each slice.
Step 8: For an added touch, you can dust the Pandoro slices with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh berries. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy goodness!
