Make the Crème Anglaise
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla bean with seeds. Heat over medium until just simmering. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened. Strain to remove the vanilla bean and cool.
