Cajeta Anglaise
Cajeta Angalise

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon cajeta*
1 teaspoon vanilla, vanilla paste of 1 vanilla bean split lengthwise

Procedure
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until they are pale yellow and
smooth.

In a medium saucepan, bring the heavy cream and sour cream to a boil.  (If using a vanilla bean add
now).  When mixture reaches a boil, whisk about half of the cream mixture into the egg yolks,
tempering them.  Then add the egg yolk mixture into the sauce pan with the rest of the cream.  
Over medium heat, stir constantly.  

When mixture heavily coats the back of a spoon, strain into a bowl set over ice cubes and cold
water.  Stir occasionally until chilled.  Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap pressed down onto the
surface until ready to serve.

*Cajeta can be found in the Latin American foods section or your grocery store.  You might even
find it in the ice cream toppings isle.
