Oma's Vanilla Sauce Recipe ❤️

My vanilla sauce recipe is an easy one to make when you're needing that something special to go along with your dessert. This is very similar to Crème anglaise (English cream) and is a light pouring custard that fits perfectly with some freshly baked apple strudel or over some stewed fruit.
There are many variations of the sauce, from using vanilla pods (which, unfortunately, are not readily available everywhere), to using yellow food coloring to replace the yellow from the egg yolks!
There are three basic ways to make the German Vanillesosse, one uses egg yolks to thicken the sauce, another uses corn starch, and the third uses both. Below, my recipe uses both.
Try this variation ...
Whip 2 to 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the cold sauce and serve.
Super Rich Vanilla Sauce ...
After the vanilla sauce has cooled, whip 1 cup of whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold this into the vanilla sauce. YUMMY!
A simpler, less rich vanilla sauce ...
Mix together 1 tablespoon flour and 1 egg yolk and gradually stir in 2 cups 2% milk. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened to a sauce. Add sugar to taste.
Serve this Vanilla Sauce with ...
Desserts like Dampfnudeln, Götterspeise, Rote Grütze, Apfelstrudel, bread pudding, rice pudding, chocolate pudding, steamed fruit, Kaiserschmarrn, Hefeklösse, etc.
Oma's Vanilla Sauce Recipe ❤️
Ingredients:
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 cup milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with cornstarch.
- In top of double boiler, combine milk with sugar and bring to a simmer.
- In a thin stream, whisk hot milk into the egg yolks and return to double boiler. Cook until sauce is thick enough to coat a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes. DO NOT let the sauce boil or it can curdle. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Serve hot or cover with plastic wrap right on top of the pudding so that no 'skin' forms and refrigerate.
Hints:
- Use 6 egg yolks instead of the 4 if you'd like a thicker sauce.
- If the sauce curdles, you can try putting it in a blender or you can put it into a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Both methods should give you a smooth sauce to use.
- For a richer sauce, use cream instead of milk.

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
To those who don’t know Gerhild, she’s the Oma who put German cuisine on the map with her highly popular website, justlikeoma.com.
Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally – beige-y taste.
I thought all German cuisine was the same – sausage. Boy was I wrong.
Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes (in German Meals at Oma's) taste as scrumptious as they look.
Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!

Sehr Gut, Gerhild! Your Quick Fix Soups e-book is wonderful.
My Swiss wife is going to love the soups that I make for her with your recipes...
The extra tips and options that you give after each recipe are very helpful.
