Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

300ml whole milk
300ml single cream
1 vanilla pod , halved with seeds scraped out and reserved
7 large egg yolks
50g golden caster sugar
100ml Calvados

Steps:

  • Heat milk, cream, vanilla pod and the vanilla seeds to a boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 20 mins, then discard the vanilla pod.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale. Add to the milk mixture and whisk to combine. Cook very gently until thickened - when it's ready, the custard should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the Calvados. Serve warm or cold.
