Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups half-and-half
2 T. sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped; pod chopped into 1" pieces.
5 egg yolks
3 T. sugar
2 T. light or dark rum
1/4 t. kosher salt
1 t. vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Warm half-and-half, 2 T. sugar, and vanilla bean seeds and pod in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming, about 5 minutes. Whisk yolks, 3 T sugar, rum, and salt together in a bowl. When milk mixture is steaming, temper it into the eggs, whisking constantly. Pour the custard back into the pan and return to the burner. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until custard coats the back of a spoon, 5-8 minutes. Blend custard and vanilla bean pod in a blender for 1 minute. Strain into a bowl, add the extract, cover, and chill.
