- The amount of ingredients can be adjusted according to the number of servings you need, please click on the number of servings to change it.
- I used half milk, half double cream, but you can use milk only if you don't have double cream. The consistency should not change, although the double cream makes it richer.
- Make sure the egg yolks are at room temperature before using them, otherwise the mixture will curdle.
