Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole Milk
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 pieces Egg Yolks
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt until smooth and pale in color.

Step 3

Once the milk mixture is hot but not boiling, slowly add about 1/4 cup of it into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 4

Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan while continuously whisking.

Step 5

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Do not allow it to boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or individual serving dishes to ensure a silky texture. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy as-is or topped with fruit or whipped cream.
