How to make it

  • Whisk egg yolks and vanilla sugar in a bowl over a saucepan half full of simmering water for about 3 minutes.
  • The mixture will thicken in consistency and lighten in colour.
  • Drizzle a stream of mixture across the surface - when it is visible for a moment then disappears, it's ready. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Gently stir mascarpone cheese into egg mixture, and then fold in cream to form thick, smooth custard.
  • Do not over mix as can become grainy.
  • This is delicious, can be used in trifle or with any dessert.
