Method
step 1
Heat milk, cream, vanilla pod and the vanilla seeds to a boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 20 mins, then discard the vanilla pod.
step 2
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale. Add to the milk mixture and whisk to combine. Cook very gently until thickened – when it’s ready, the custard should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the Calvados. Serve warm or cold.
