3 1/3 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
1 cup half-and-half |
1 (6-inch) vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
1 cup sugar |
3 large egg yolks |

1. Combine milk and half-and-half in a medium, heavy saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; add seeds and bean to pan. Bring milk mixture to a boil. Remove from heat. Remove bean; discard. 2. Combine sugar and egg yolks; beat with mixer at high speed until thick and pale. Gradually add half of hot milk mixture to sugar mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return milk mixture to pan.
