Note

Storage: Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The dessert is best served chilled.

Safety: Ensure the custard reaches 165ÃÂ°F to safely cook the egg yolks. Do not let the mixture boil, or it will curdle.

Variations: For a "white chocolate" flavor, melt 4 oz of white chocolate into the warm custard before folding in the cream.

Tips: Use a candy thermometer for best results. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash more half & half.
