1

Put on aprons to keep clothes clean.

Separate 5 egg yolks from the egg whites, using fingers to catch the yolk.

3

Add 1/3 cup brown sugar to the bowl with egg yolks.

4

Add 1/3 cup caster sugar to the bowl.

5

Add a pinch of salt and whisk the mixture together.

6

Pour in 1 cup of milk, stirring to dissolve the sugars.

7

Add 1/2 cup of cream to the mixture and stir.

8

Pour the custard mix into a saucepan.

9

Add 3/4 cup of sour cream to the saucepan.

10

Measure out 1 cup of thickened cream and add it to the mixture.

11

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, adjusting to taste.

12

Cook the custard over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches between 77 and 88 degrees Celsius.

13

Use a thermometer to check the temperature, avoiding contact with the bottom of the pan.

14

Stir continuously to prevent the bottom from getting too hot and to avoid scrambling the eggs.

15

Check the thickness of the custard by running a finger through it on the back of a spoon; it should leave a clean line.

16

Pour the hot custard into a bowl with cold ingredients to cool it down quickly.

17

Whisk the mixture to combine everything well.
