Ingredients:  
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 cup sugar, divided
10 egg yolks (save the whites for another use)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (use high quality vanilla)
Fresh Berries

Directions:
Combine cream with half the sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a strong simmer, but don't boil. Beat egg yolks in a bowl with the other half of the sugar. (You can use a stand mixer, a hand mixer, or do this by hand.) Add vanilla extract to egg yolks. After beating on medium for a minute, begin slowly adding in the hot cream. Be sure to add it VERY SLOWLY, to temper the eggs to the hot cream. After all cream is added, turn off mixer.

Pour mixture into the top of a double boiler (or a glass bowl fitted over a saucepan). Cook in the double boiler over medium heat. Stir gently but constantly as the egg/cream mixture slowly thickens. Watch the mixture: if it starts to really thicken up, remove it immediately from the heat. You want this to be more of a thick, pourable cream than a thick, heavy pudding texture.

As soon as you remove the pan from the heat, set the bottom of it in a bowl of ice to stop the cooking process (but be careful not to let ice or water drip over the edge of the pan.) Stir to cool. If you need to use the cream right away, keep it in the ice bath and stir to cool. Ideally, you'll transfer the cream to a container and refrigerate it for several hours.

Serve over fresh berries.
