Vanillecrème/-sauce


Explanation:
Sahne ist es nicht! Wikipedia bezeichnet es als Englische Creme, das klingt ein wenig abgehoben, aber je nach Kontext auch passend

agree  Karin Maack: aber der Restaurantbesucher weiß viel genauer, was er bei Vanillecreme bekommt

agree  Vera Wilson: Ich stimme für Vanillesauce. Die crème anglaise ist wesentlich dünner als der 'custard'. Creme bedeutet auf Deutsch dickeres, also so was wie Vanillepudding (und da kann dann schon mal Sahne dabei sein...:) )

Englische Creme


Explanation:
Keinesfalls "Sahne". Es handelt sich hierbei um eine "echte Vanillesauce". Auch Creme Anglaise wird oft in Klammern dazugesetzt.
