Adapted slightly from Alice Medrich's Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts. If you're a vanilla lover, this is for you! If using this on a vanilla cake, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the mixture for an extra bit of dimension.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 3/4 cup vanilla sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- seeds and pod of 1/2 vanilla bean (optional but delicious) shopping list
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla shopping list
- 2 oz butter, cool but not hard shopping list
- 2 oz shortening, cool but not hard shopping list
How to make it
- Whisk together the cream, sugar and salt (and vanilla pod, if using) in a saucepan.
- Cover and bring to a simmer, then uncover and boil gently for 1 minute.
- Pour immediately into a bowl, remove vanilla pod and cool at room temperature, without stirring, for 45 minutes.
- Fill a larger bowl with ice water and set the bowl of vanilla mixture inside.
- With electric beaters, beat in the vanilla extract, butter and shortening until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Use immediately or store in a covered container up to 1 week in the fridge.
