Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream until smooth.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 7-10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.

Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
