Chef’s Notes

For a Lighter Texture:
Fold in ½ cup of whipped cream after chilling to create a Crème Légère.
Flavor Variations:
Infuse the milk with citrus zest, a cinnamon stick, or 1 tbsp espresso powder before heating.
Strain before tempering the eggs.
Ensure Success:
Whisk constantly and thoroughly during cooking to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth, velvety texture.
