Gradually add warm milk to egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in soaked gelatin until fully dissolved.

Add vanilla extract and salt, mixing well.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Fold whipped cream into the cooled mixture gently until combined.
