Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 vanilla bean (3- to 4-in. piece), split lengthwise, or 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Directions:

  1. In the top of a double boiler, combine whipping cream, milk, and vanilla bean. Set pan directly over medium heat and stir frequently until bubbles form at rim, about 2 1/2 minutes. Lift out vanilla bean and, with a knife, scrape tiny black seeds free and add to hot cream mixture.
  2. In a bowl, mix yolks with sugar to blend. Whisk about 1/3 of the hot cream mixture into bowl, then return egg mixture to pan.
  3. Set pan over barely simmering water and stir until custard coats the back of a metal spoon in a velvety layer, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and serve. Or nest pan in ice water, stir to cool custard quickly, about 3 minutes, and serve cold.
  4. Nutritional analysis per 2 tablespoons.
