Crème anglaise (French: [kʁɛm ɑ̃glɛz]; French for 'English cream'), custard sauce, pouring custard, or simply custard[1] is a light, sweetened pouring custard used as a dessert cream or sauce. It is a mix of sugar, egg yolks, and hot milk usually flavoured with vanilla.
Crème anglaise can be poured over cakes or fruits as a sauce or eaten as part of desserts such as floating island. It also serves as a base ingredient for other desserts such as ice cream or crème brûlée.
As a beverage, it is known as "drinking custard" or "boiled custard" in the American South and served like eggnog during the Christmas season.[2][3]
Other names include the French terms crème à l'anglaise ("English-style cream") and crème française ("French cream").[4]
Imitation custard sauce, containing no egg, is often made from instant custard powders such as Bird's Custard.
