user rating

Pour heavy cream into a saucepan. Add vanilla bean pod and seeds. Bring the cream and vanilla to a simmer.

Serves: 0

Ingredients:

1 pint heavy cream

3 ounces granulated sugar

1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise and seeds scraped out

4 egg yolks, whisked

Method:

Pour heavy cream into a saucepan. Add vanilla bean pod and seeds. Bring the cream and vanilla to a simmer.

Meanwhile, add sugar to egg yolks and whisk to ensure that there are no clumps. Remove saucepan from heat.

Rapidly mix 1/2 of warm heavy cream mixture into egg yolks. (It helps to have one person pour while another whisks.) Pour mixture back into saucepan with remaining cream.

Simmer while constantly stirring with a wooden spoon until mixture is just below boiling point (170-175º) and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.

Transfer mixture into a metal bowl that is chilling over ice and allow to cool completely.
