Ingredients:

  • 11/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks

Directions:

  1. Combine the milk, cream, salt and about half the sugar in a heavy saucepan. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. Add both the seeds and bean to the milk mixture. Bring just to a simmer over med-high heat. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to keep a skin from forming.
  2. Fill a large bowl with a few inches of ice water. Reheat milk mixture until hot but not simmering. Meanwhile in another bowl whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar. Whisk about 1/2c of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, then whisk the eggs back into the hot milk. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the sauce thickens slightly ( just enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon and hold a line drawn through it with your finger)
  3. Immediately strain the sauce into another bowl and set in the ice bath. Stir occasionally until the sauce is cool. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface of the sauce and refrigerate.
