Brown Sugared Strawberries With Creme Anglaise Recipes

BROWN-SUGARED STRAWBERRIES WITH CREME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Combine strawberries and brown sugar and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Combine granulated sugar, salt and eggs in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
• Heat milk in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180°F or until tiny bubbles form around the edge, but do not boil.
• Gradually add milk to egg mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk.
• Return milk mixture to pan; cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until slightly thick and mixture coats the back of a spoon (stir constantly).
• Remove from heat; stir in extracts.
• Serve warm or chilled over strawberries.
• Garnish with mint, if desired.

FRESH STRAWBERRIES WITH ALMOND CREME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Put chopped almonds in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to toast, about 3 minutes.
• Add milk, cream, sugar and egg yolks, and whisk well to combine. Cook, whisking almost constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
• While sauce is still hot, strain it through a sieve and let cool a bit. To serve, put a cup of strawberries in each dish, drizzle with warm sauce and garnish with slivered almonds. Sauce will keep, tightly covered, in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

STRAWBERRIES IN ROSE CRèME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Put half-and-half in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to just under a simmer, then turn off heat.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and egg yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle hot half-and-half into the sugar mixture, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook, whisking, over a very low heat until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can do this in a double boiler.) Remove from heat and strain sauce through a fine-mesh sieve. Cool over an ice bath, then stir in rose flower water. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. (Crème anglaise can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
• To serve, place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, tasting as you go until the berries are your preferred sweetness. If you like, add 2 or 3 drops of the rose flower water to the berries.
• Pour ½ cup sauce into shallow dessert bowls. Spoon berries over. Garnish with rose petals, if using.
