Strudel with vanilla "snow" sauce and ice cream by the side |
Vanilla "snow" sauce
- 3 egg yolk
- 2 table spoon sugar
- 2 table spoon vanilla sugar (I make my own vanilla sugar by mixing my empty fresh vanilla pods with sugar and infusing everything for a few weeks)
- 1 table spoon starch
- 375 ml milk
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1/2 tea spoon of ground clove
Mix the egg yolk, the sugar, the starch, the ground clove and the vanilla sugar together untill you got a consistent cream Now add the mild and the mark of the vanilla pod and heat it up on a small flame. Don't let it cook, just let it simmer for a while until all turns into a thick and creamy sauce.Switch the fire off. Take the egg whites and beat them stiff. Then, carefully, with a big spatula, fold the egg white in the sauce so you will get this silky smooth, creamy, fluffy vanilla "snow". sauce that just tastes fantastic with a hint of the spiciness of the clove in the background, it's a heavenly "snowy" kind of an afternoon delight...
