List of 14 recipes using Real custard sauce (crème anglaise)

Apple Tatin Terrine

Imagine a sweet terrine, made of layers of apples with sugar, cooked slowly in the oven until caramelized. Serve warm in slices with custard.

Caramel semolina pudding with raisins

Semolina pudding, like rice pudding, is a throwback to another era – time to rediscover its delights! This is an updated version, with a caramel sauce and raisins. Its smooth, creamy texture comes from the custard added towards the end.

Caramelized brioche with pear and kiwi

This "classy restaurant" style dessert consists of a sort of dish made of caramelized brioche filled with a mix of pear compote and kiwi salad with vanilla, served surrounded by real custard (crème anglaise).

Confit of quinces in Macvin

In this simple recipe, the sliced quinces are gently stewed in Jura Macvin until melting and caramelized. Served with real custard, this gives a delightful contrast of flavour and colour.

European glass

A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me).

Individual charlottes with morello cherries

The French "griottines" are delicious little wild morello cherries, stoned and macerated in a Kirsch syrup, used here in individual vanilla charlottes.

Norman flambéed apples

Apples sautéed in butter and sugar, then flambéed in Calvados (from Normandy) and served with real custard.

Pears and caramelised walnut samosas

Samosas are small parcels of filling wrapped in brik (or filo) sheets and either shallow or deep fried. Here is a sweet version, with pears and caramelised walnuts.

Pears in red wine with blackcurrant

Pears cooked until soft in a red wine and blackcurrant syrup, served with the reduced syrup and custard sauce (crème anglaise).

Pistachio panna cotta with custard

In this dessert, the pistachio panna cotta is teamed with real vanilla custard and topped with a few caramelised pistachios.

Rice pudding (riz au lait)

My personal version of this classic family recipe.

Sautéed pears with custard and orange syrup

Pear halves sautéed in butter and sugar served with real custard (crème anglaise) and a reduced blood-orange syrup.

Warm apple feuillantines

It's a rather long recipe but which never fails to impress, perfect for a special dinner party. It's made up of 3 circles: one almond "tuile", 2 of caramelized brik sheets, with a caramelized apple layer between each, whipped cream on top, and custard all around. Everything, except whipped cream, can be made beforehand.

Bavaroise cream

A "bavaroise" is made with custard, set with gelatin after cooking, and with whipped cream added once it has cooled. This makes a delicious, smooth cream that can be used to create many different desserts.
