Nice directions and straightforward to prepare. Thickened nicely. Thought it tasted too "eggy" although I had no curdling or evidence of solids in my sauce. Compared ingredients to other versions (including Julia Child) and the cream in the other versions was twice the amount in this one. Think I will double the cream next time to cut back on the egg flavor.

Used vanilla bean paste instead of the bean. Served over mixed fruit with white chocolate shards.

Excellent Creme Anglaise. Very easy to make and easy to adjust....I did cut a bit of the sugar, I also scraped the vanilla bean to give it a very vanilla flavor. I also used vanilla sugar. It was wonderful!

This is a great creme anglaise recipe, simple and traditional. I do not buy vanilla beans so I just use pure vanilla extract. Its also important to note that you MUST heat half and half on medium heat ONLY. Same goes for the mixture after the eggs are added, keep on medium heat and STIR CONSTANTLY. Any high heat and the mixture may begin to scorch on the bottom and have lumps. I added the vanilla after removing from heat as well as about 3 tbsp of bourbon whisky. YUMM!!!! Was amazing over warm bread pudding. If you have cold bread pudding, I suggest warmiing it in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes then add the creme anglaise cold...the bread pudding will warm up the sauce! SOOO YUMMY!

Such a nice flavor. I too used vanilla extract instead of a bean. Loved it on the Bread Pudding III from this site.

Perfect. I wanted a quick and easy, yet tasty sauce to serve with some banana bread to make it a little more elegant for a dinner time dessert. This recipe was easy and quick and turned out delicious.

This is a wonderful and very versatile recipe. I didn't have the vanilla bean and decided that I wanted a different flavor, so I used a butter rum extract that I recently purchased from a cake decorating store. Nummy! It kinda tasted like a butter rum Lifesaver! I spooned some on the bottom of a plate, placed a serving of bread pudding on top of it, and then drizzled all of that with a warm caramel sauce that I made. The 9x13 pan was gone in ten minutes. Thanks for such a wonderful tasting and incredibly easy recipe!

Pretty good - not exactly what I was looking for though. I made it to go over bread pudding, and it was just too eggy flavored to me. Think egg nog without the spices... Rated 4 stars though, because the recipe came together well.
