Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise into two and scrape out the seeds from the pod. In a
Deep Mixing Bowl, beat the first 2 egg yolks and sugar until the mixture lightens in colour. Add in the vanilla seeds and continue beating until completely combined. In the
Arezzo Saucepan, bring the milk and the vanilla pod to a boil. Remove from heat and, in a bowl, add in half of the egg mixture to weaken the mix. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula until the cream sticks to the back of your spoon. Immediately remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and let cool.
