  • 500 ml heavy whipping cream (at least 36% milkfat) cold
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 120 g granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract high-quality
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla bean pod) optional
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • 250 ml whole milk

Instructions

  1. Pour the cold heavy cream into a large bowl or jar. Set aside.
  2. Separate 6 egg yolks from the egg whites and place the egg yolks into a heat-safe bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze the egg whites for later use).
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste (if using), pinch of salt and set aside.
  4. Add the milk to a medium saucepan or pot and simmer over low heat until scalding hot.
  5. While whisking the egg mixture, gradually pour in the warmed milk (known as tempering the eggs).

  8. Give the mixture a stir and cover with a lid/plastic wrap.
