Ingredients
- 3/4 cup half and half
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Add the half and half to a small pot on medium heat. Bring it to a low simmer and then turn off the burner.
- Add your egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar to a heat proof bowl and whisk together.
- Then slowly pour the hot half and half into the bowl. Whisk constantly.
- Once it has been combined pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to whisk over low heat until it thickens a bit. (180°F) To check: dip the back of a spoon into the mixture. The creme should evenly coat it without dripping off.
- Pour the custard through a mesh strainer to remove any lumps/skin that can form.
- Add vanilla and stir well. Cover the creme and place it in the fridge to chill.
