Low-Fat Vanilla Custard Sauce

2 cups low-fat (1%) milk
1 3-inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 large egg

Pour milk into heavy, medium saucepan.  Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean.  Bring to simmer.

Whisk sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl until no lumps remain.  Add egg; whisk until well-blended.  

Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into egg mixture.  Return to saucepan, and whisk over medium heat until sauce thickens and boils, about 5 minutes.  Pour into another medium bowl.  Chill until cold, stirring occasionally, about 4 hours.  (Can be made 2 days ahead.  Cover and keep chilled.  Before serving, remove vanilla bean and whisk to loosen.)

Makes about 2 cups.
