Vanilla Custard Topping (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
02 - ⅔ cup fresh milk
03 - ½ cup full-fat whipping cream
04 - 1 tbsp cornflour
05 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 pinch table salt
07 - 4 fresh egg yolks

# Instructions:

01 - Grab a saucepan and stir together the cornflour with two spoonfuls of cold milk until smooth.
02 - Crack open the eggs and pop the yolks in a bowl. Give them a quick whisk to break them up.
03 - Pour in the leftover milk, add the whipping cream, sugar, salt and vanilla. Heat until bubbling, then take it off the stove.
04 - Slowly pour the beaten yolks into your hot milk blend while continuously whisking.
05 - Put the pot back on a gentle heat and stir for roughly two minutes until your sauce gets nice and thick.

# Notes:

01 - This traditional Bavarian vanilla drizzle makes any fruity treat, pastry or warm dessert taste even better.
