Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to steam (do not let it boil).

Step 3

Remove the cream mixture from heat and stir in the grated ginger. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes to infuse the cream with the ginger flavor.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and slightly pale.

Step 5

Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the ginger solids. Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 6

Return the custard mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone or wooden spatula, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 8–10 minutes). Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 7

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 8

Pour the Ginger Cream into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set.

Step 9

Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a twist of candied ginger if desired.
