- 250 ml soy milk or any other plant milk
- 1 tbsp starch
- 30 g sugar
- one vanilla pod alternatively 1 tbsp vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla aroma
- 1 pinch of tumeric for the light yellow color
Cut through the skin of the vanilla pod with a small knife. Then scrape out the black grains of the pod with the tip of the knife.
Mix the cold milk with starch, sugar, turmeric, vanilla and add the scratched vanilla pod. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a whisk until there are no lumps left.
Place the liquid in a saucepan and let it cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly with the whisk to prevent burning. Then take the scrapped vanilla pod out of the sauce.
If you let the vanilla sauce cool for 5-10 minutes, it becomes a little firmer and creamier. Serve the vanilla sauce warm with your dessert or pastry.
The vanilla sauce is best served after 10 minutes and not, when you put it in the fridge and then reheated it.
