I love to make this dessert with maple syrup produced in our area. For a change from heavier cakes and pies, it’s a refreshing ending to a holiday meal.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plus 6 teaspoons maple syrup, divided
- 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Whipped cream, optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat 3/4 cup syrup just until it simmers. Reduce heat to low. Whisk a small amount of hot syrup into egg yolks; return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and reaches 160°. Transfer to a large bowl; set bowl in ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the syrup mixture. Spoon into dessert dishes. Chill for at least 2 hours. If desired, top with whipped cream. Just before serving, drizzle with remaining 6 teaspoons syrup and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
