     2 tb Sugar


   1/2 c  Whipping cream

     1 ts Vanilla extract

 WHISK YOLKS AND SUGAR TOGETHER in a mixing bowl until smooth. Combine


 cream, milk and vanilla in a pot, place over high heat. As soon as mixture


 boils, remove from heat and slowly pour over the yolks, stirring. Replace


 mixture in a pot, place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a


 wooden spoon. When the mixture has a consistency that coats the spoon,


 remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Continue to stir as the mixture


 cools. Be very careful not to overcook or the yolks will curdle. Cool to
