Directions
-
Whisk the 4 egg yolks in a medium heatproof bowl until smooth and uniform.
-
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the heavy cream and the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon over medium heat.
-
Heat the cream mixture until it begins to simmer and small bubbles form around the edges, stirring occasionally.
-
Slowly drizzle the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking vigorously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream.
-
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream and the crème fraîche until fully incorporated.
-
Serve the warm sauce immediately over your chosen dish, or transfer to a container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
