    Chef Larry's Frangelico Sauce

    Yield: approximately 2 cups

    Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cup Milk
  • 4 each Egg yolks
  • 1/2 tsp. Sugar, granulated
  • 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 2 oz. Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur)
  • 1/2 cup Cold Milk

    Method:
    Bring the 1 1/2 cups of milk to a boil. Remove and set aside. Place egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and Frangelico in a mixing bowl and whisk until mixture forms "ribbons". Combine hot milk and egg mixture in a saucepan and cook over low heat stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until sauce thickens. (Test by coating a spoon or spatula with mixture and running finger across it, if the sauce is thick and smooth and does not run together; it is at the proper consistency.) Remove from heat and incorporate the cold milk. Strain through a sieve and chill in a container placed in a bowl of ice water. When cool, cover and refrigerate until service. Sauce may thicken when refrigerated; if too thick add additional cold milk to achieve desired consistency.
