This is not a destination, it is the trip....meaning it is a component to several dessert recipes
In a small pan, heat the creams over low heat without letting them boil
During that time, in a bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until the mixture whitens and forms a ribbon
Slowly pour into it the heated cream, stirring continually
Return to pan and cook at low heat until the mixture thickens and covers a wooden spoon
Remove from heat, flavour with vanilla and let cool
