Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds with a knife. Bring the cream, milk, and vanilla seeds to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the sugar with the egg yolk and cornstarch and whisk into the boiling milk. Bring to a boil once, and the sauce is ready. It’s really super easy to make and only takes a few minutes. Don’t throw away the empty vanilla pod; place it in the sugar bowl instead. It makes wonderful vanilla sugar.
