Ingredients
1½ cups low-fat milk
½ cup half and half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean
½ cup cane sugar
¼ cup beaten egg yolks
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except for egg yolk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Place egg yolk in a medium bowl. When milk mixture is scalded (about 165F), remove from heat and add ¼ cup at a time to egg yolk. Mix well after each addition. Remove vanilla bean, slice lengthwise and scrape vanilla bean into custard mixture. Mix well. Return to saucepan.
