2/3 cup Sugar
1 cup Heavy cream
1 One half cup Milk
4 Egg yolks

Melt the sugar in a heavy saucepan over mediumhigh heat, stirring
constantly, until it turns dark brown. Meanwhile, combine the cream
and milk in a saucepan and heat until mixture bubbles around the
edge. When sugar has caramelized, remove from heat and slowly begin

bubbling subsides, then continue pouring until all of the milk has
been incorporated an the caramel has completely dissolved.

in half of the hot milk mixture. Pour back into the remaining hot
milk and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the
