Ingredients:
1 cup cream
3 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Method:
Bring the milk and cream to a simmer in a heavy bottom pot. While the milk is heating, whisk together the egg yolks, corn starch and sugar. When the milk is heated slowly whisk in 1/3 cup of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture. Add 1/3 cup more to the mixture and then transfer everything back to the pot. Simmer over medium low heat, whisking continuously, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Test this by holding up the spoon and swiping your finder down the back. If the line remains, it is done! Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. Serve over cakes or fruit!
