Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 3 cups heavy cream
- ½ tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- 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!
- Gradually whisk in the milk and transfer the pan to a medium low heat. Gradually heat, whisking often until it reaches 160F.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, 3/4 tsp of the nutmeg and the cinnamon.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, reserving the remaining 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to sprinkle on top of each serving.
