2 cups half and half
4 egg yolk, at room temperature

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whick together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth, pale yellow, and thick, about 1 minute. Slowly whick the boiling cream into the egg mixture until blended, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and covers the back of the spoon, 6 to 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Stir in the vanilla. Serve warm or chilled.
