• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Cornstarch - 1 tbsp
• Unsalted butter - 10 g

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until warm, but do not boil.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
3. Slowly add the warm milk and cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
4. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Pour the mixture into two ramekins and let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
