Instructions

  1. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and the sugar has almost dissolved - you won’t manage to get the last few grains!
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk and transfer the pan to a medium low heat. Gradually heat, whisking often until it reaches 160F. 
  3. Remove from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, 3/4 tsp of the nutmeg and the cinnamon.
  4. Chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, reserving the remaining 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to sprinkle on top of each serving.
