6 egg yolks
125gr caster sugar

  • Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl, then place that bowl in another larger bowl of iced water and set aside.
  • Place the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl and use a whisk until thick and pale. Whisking continuously, gradually ass the warm milk, then return the mixture to the pan and stir over a low heat for 10 minutes or until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
