- Fresh cream
- Adds richness and a silky texture to the sauce.
The step that matters
Heat the Veloute to boiling point.. Bringing the sauce to a boil and then adding cream off the heat or at a gentle simmer helps prevent the cream from curdling or separating. Boiling the cream hard can cause it to break, so keep the heat controlled once the cream goes in.
