- Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 1/2 cups nonfat or lowfat milk
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks, chopped to suit
- Whisk:
- sugar into egg yolks until well blended. Heat half and half and milk until hot but not boiling. Add 1 tbs. at a time of hot mixture to sweetened egg yolks and whisk fast and well to slowly raise temp of yolk mixture. After adding 6 tbs or so, pour yolk mixture into remaining hot mixture and whisk well.
- Scrape seeds of vanilla bean into mixture, and then add remaining half pod plus vanilla extract. Continue whisking as you bring combined mixture back to almost a boil over low heat.
- Remove pan from heat, and wait until the mixture has cooled before straining. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
