📜 Authentic Recipe

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 vanilla pod (split + scraped)

• 5 egg yolks

• 1/2 cup sugar + extra for caramelizing

• Pinch salt

Key Steps:

1. Infuse cream: Heat with vanilla pod + seeds (steep 30 mins off-heat)

2. Temper yolks: Whisk with sugar → slowly add warm cream

3. Bake: 300°F (150°C) in water bath 35-40 mins

1. Flavor complexity:

   • Pod: Woody depth

   • Seeds: Floral sweetness

2. Versatility: 1 pod = 3 tsp extract (but no alcohol aftertaste)

3. Luxury factor: 2nd most expensive spice after saffron
