2. Whisk in 1/2 C.
3. whipping cream until smooth.
4. Remove butterscotch mixture from heat.
5. In a 3-4 quart pan over medium high heat, combine remaining 1 cup whipping cream and the half-and-half, bring to a simmer.
6. Beat egg yolks to blend in a bowl.
7. Whisk 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture into the eggs yolks, then pour egg yolk mixture into the pan with the remaining cream mixture.
8. Stir constantly over low heat just until mixture is slightly thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.
9. Immediately remove from heat.
10. Pour through a fine strainer into a clean bowl and whisk in butterscotch mixture.
