Recipe for Refreshing and Delicate Mint Cream
Delightful and refreshing mint cream, enriched with a touch of vanilla and without egg whites. Perfect as a dessert or for an afternoon break. Garnish with crispy wafers and finely chopped fresh mint leaves for a special touch.
Instructions
- Start by bringing the milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Once it reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and add the vanilla sugar and mint syrup, stirring well to blend the flavors.
- In a separate bowl, work the egg yolks with the sugar using an electric or manual whisk until you obtain a clear and frothy mixture.
- Gently incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, then gradually add the flavored milk, continuing to stir to avoid lumps from forming.
- Transfer everything back to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the cream thickens to the desired consistency.
- Pour the cream into individual cups and let it cool slightly before placing them in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Serve the well-chilled cups accompanied by crispy wafers.
Notes
For an extra special and even fresher touch, add finely chopped fresh mint leaves to the cream before cooling. This will give a unique intensity to the dessert and naturally decorate your cups.
