Step 1

1. Combine the cream, milk, sugar, and coffee in a medium, heavy saucepan.
2. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

5. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks.
6. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream.
7. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
8. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container.
9. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming.
