Preparation method

How do you make this?

Mix the sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and vanilla seeds in a bowl and whisk until frothy so everything is nicely combined.

Put the milk, cream, and scraped vanilla pod in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Once it starts to boil, pour half into the egg mixture. Mix everything well and then combine it back in the saucepan and put it on the heat. Keep whisking well until it starts to 'pop'. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until well combined.

Pour into a dish and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, let it cool completely.
