Step 1

In top of double boiler mix sugar and egg yolks; whisk until light and lemon-colored. In small saucepan heat milk, cream and vanilla to scalding point. Remove from heat. Gradually add hot milk mixture to yolks, whisking constantly. Place over simmering water; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Immediately remove from heat. Continue whisking until cooled, about 2 minutes. Sauce may be served hot or cold. If not used immediately store in refrigerator.
