So good and so easy to make. However, cut down on the sugar unless you have a real sweet tooth. I think next time I'm only going to add 1/4 c. of sugar. But good all the same! I had mine with a baked apple...delicious!

Very tasty. Just be sure not to overcook as the eggs will curdle.

First time making Creme Anglaise. Used this recipe exactly(I used a true vanilla bean in the cream) and it turned out amazing. Was sweet but the asian pear cake I put in on wasn't too sweet so it worked out well.

Good flavor, but it was yellow. That kinda grossed me out for some reason. I should have read reviews prior to making, because it didn't specify what level of heat or how long it should take to thicken. No harm though. I cooked it on medium and after mixing the egg mixture back into the cream, it took about 3 minutes to thicken. It turned out a perfect consistency.

Delicious and easy! Although very sweet. I'll use a little less sugar next time.

I actually found this creme anglaise to be a bit too sweet and too "eggy" for my taste. (yes, I do realize that creme anglaise is a custard, which = eggs!!) I am a very seasoned cook and have made creme anglaise numerous times. I know I didn't do anything wrong - it's just the recipe. I have liked other recipes better. Definitely edible, though - how can you really go wrong with cream, eggs and sugar? :) As for the vanilla, you should never add this at the boiling stage. Always add it at the end. The only other modification I made was to add some dark rum at the end to cut some of the sweet/egg richness. Overall, this was an average creme anglaise, and thus my rating.

I made this to accompany warm Gingerbread Cake. So wonderful and simple. I didn't have any vanilla beans in the house, so this recipe was more convenient than most others.

Grreat sauce for bread pudding. Get your ingredients organized ahead of time and the actual cooking time is very short. Everyone loved it. I did double the vanilla because we love vanilla
