Ingredients
Scale
Vanilla
- 280 g milk
- 15 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 20 g corn starch
- 50 g sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 40 g butter
Chocolate
- 25 g sugar
- 15 g cornstarch
- 10 g cocoa powder
- 250 g milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 45 g chocolate, chopped fine (I use semi-sweet)
- 10 g butter
Instructions
Vanilla
- Mix milk, first measuring of sugar and vanilla extract in a pan (I like to use non-stick), and bring to the boil.
- Meanwhile, whisk corn starch and second measuring of sugar together.
- Add the egg yolks, whisk until mixed well with the starch and sugar.
- When the milk has come to the boil, add a little to the egg mixture and mix immediately; then add the rest of the milk while whisking.
- Pour the milk-egg mixture back in the pan and place on medium-low heat, while stirring constantly.
- When it has thickened and boiled for about 20 seconds, the vanilla vla is ready; pour it into a bowl immediately.
- Add the butter and keep whisking until it is incorporated.
- Leave to cool and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes
To make caramel vla: make caramel, then gradually mix trough the milk. The rest of the recipe is the same as the vanilla vla recipe. To make fruit vla: either replace part of the milk with fruit juice/puree and then go on with the vanilla vla recipe, or add a fruit reduction at the end (if you would add a puree the vla would become watery). For extra richness you can replace part of the milk with cream.
