Ingredients

50 cl of milk


1 vanilla bean


4 egg yolks


100 g sugar


50 g cornstarch

Preparation

Split the vanilla and scrape the seeds with the back of a knife.
In a saucepan, bring the milk and vanilla to a boil until it boils.

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks vigorously with the sugar to blanch them, then add the starch.

Pour a little boiling milk over the mixture while mixing well to dilute it.

Pour this mixture into the remaining milk in the pan and return to the heat.

Thicken by stirring vigorously and without stopping with a whisk.

After 5 to 10 minutes, when the cream covers the spoon (it stays on when you lean the spoon), stop the heat.

Pour into a cold dish to accelerate cooling and cover with a film on contact.

Let cool completely and then put in the refrigerator until ready to serve
