- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
- 5 large egg yolks
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a paring knife and scrape out the seeds. Combine the milk, 1 cup of the heavy cream, half the sugar (6 tbsp), the vanilla bean pod, and the scraped seeds in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture steams and small bubbles form around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
