Ingredients

  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 cup white sugar, divided
  • 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine half-and-half, 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla bean.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until smooth.
  3. When cream mixture comes just to a boil, remove from heat and remove vanilla bean. Whisk a small amount of hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, then pour egg yolk mixture into remaining hot cream and whisk until smooth.
