Ingredients

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.
