- . In a small-medium saucepan, hand whisk the egg yolks and sugar until a smooth paste has formed.
- . Add just a little quantity of milk and whisk to soften the thick paste. Afterwards, continually whisk in the remaining milk until all is combined. Note: this is one of the better ways to avoid getting curdles in the egg mix. It will assure a smooth, lump-free custard every time. It also avoids having to later strain it.
- . Over medium-high heat, start whisking the custard gently at first. Once a very low simmering boil appears, a quicker whisking motion should take place. As the mix starts rising slightly and lightly thickening, shut the heat and remove the pot. The cream is ready and the vanilla extract can now be added. Note: if there are any other add-in selections...this is the moment to combine the extra ingredient(s).
- . Let the cream rest for about 15 minutes more while giving it a stir every so often. Transfer the cream to a medium bowl and cover it with a plastic wrap touching the surface. This will avoid a dry skin from forming. When the cream has cooled at room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator for a few hours to set until cold. This cream keeps well for 2-3 days.
