BOILED CUSTARD

Steps:

• Combine the cream, milk and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.

• Temper hot milky mixture into the sugar yolk mixture, by slowly adding hot milky mixture about 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once half of the milky mixture has been added, transfer mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milky mixture.
