How to Make Ginger Cream

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
  3. Add 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the yolks.
  5. Gently pour the tempered yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture, whisking constantly.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the ginger slices using a slotted spoon or fine-mesh sieve.
  8. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  9. Serve chilled. This dessert will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
