Ingredients:

- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Serving: 4

Cooking Tips:

- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the custard from burning.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until they are pale and fluffy.
- Do not overcook the custard, as it will become lumpy and grainy.

Instructions:

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until they are pale and fluffy.
3. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
8. Chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is completely chilled.
