Ready In: 3 hrs 10 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
SAUCE
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
- 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
NECTARINES
- 6 medium nectarines, halved and pitted (about 2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Directions
- To prepare sauce, combine salt and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, beating 2 minutes with a mixer at medium-high speed.
- Heat 1% low-fat milk over medium heat in a small, heavy saucepan to 180° or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Gradually add hot milk to sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Return milk mixture to pan; cook over medium-low heat 5 minutes or until slightly thick and mixture coats the back of a spoon, stirring constantly (do not boil). Remove from heat. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Place pan in a large ice-filled bowl until mixture cools completely, stirring occasionally. Spoon mixture into a bowl. Cover and chill.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- To prepare nectarines, place nectarines, cut sides up, in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle nectarines evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until nectarines are soft and lightly browned. Serve with chilled sauce.
