Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 vanilla bean -- or 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 pinch salt

Combine the cream and milk in a small saucepan. Split the vanilla bean
lengthwise with a small sharp knife. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla
bean and into the cream mixture. Add the vanilla pod. (If using vanilla
extract, add it as the sauce is cooling.)

Cook the cream mixture over medium heat until small bubbles appear around
the edge. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove the
vanilla pod and discard.

In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and salt. Gradually whisk
in the warm cream mixture. Transfer the sauce to the saucepan. Cook over
low heat, stirring constantly, until small wisps of steam appear on the
surface and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. (Test it by dipping a
spoon in the sauce and carefully - it's hot - running your finger down the
back of the spoon. If it leaves a distinct track, the sauce is done.) Do
not allow the sauce to boil, or it may curdle.

Immediately pour the sauce into a clean bowl set into a larger bowl of ice
water. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate until
serving time or for up to 2 days.

Makes 2 1/2 cups (5 one-half cup servings)

The ultimate dessert sauce, custard cream is good enough to eat with a
spoon. In fact, I often do! If you want to, you can pour it into an ice
cream maker for perfect vanilla ice cream. As a sauce, it is amazingly
scrumptious with berries, fruit tarts, and anything chocolate.
