For an extra layer of flavor, consider infusing the heavy cream with a vanilla bean before beginning the recipe. Simply split a vanilla bean lengthwise and simmer it in the cream over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove the bean before proceeding with the recipe. Be patient and maintain a low heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Constant stirring is key to achieving a smooth, luscious sauce. If the sauce appears too thick, whisk in a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to reach your desired consistency.
