Ingredients

• 250 ml Dry white wine
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 4 pieces Egg yolks
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
• 5 grams Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over low heat, pour the white wine and gently simmer until reduced by half. This will concentrate the flavors. Once reduced, set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture becomes pale and smooth.

Step 3

Slowly heat the heavy cream in another saucepan over low to medium heat until it just begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

Step 4

While continuously whisking, gradually pour the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 5

Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan and mix in the reduced white wine, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (approximately 8-10 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil, as this could cause the eggs to scramble.

Step 7

Once thickened, strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a silky texture.

Step 8

Divide the Creme Bachique into serving bowls or glasses and allow them to cool to room temperature before covering and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for an elegant touch, if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy this creamy, wine-infused dessert as a sophisticated end to your meal!
