3 Egg yolks
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 tb Sugar
1 c Unsalted butter
1/2 c Whipping cream
- at room temperature
1/2 c Milk
1/4 c Confectioners sugar

Recipe Instructions:

WHISK YOLKS AND Sugar TOGETHER in a mixing bowl until smooth. Combine cream, Milk and vanilla in a pot, place over high heat. As soon as mixture boils, remove from heat and slowly pour over the yolks, stirring. Replace mixture in a pot, place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. When the mixture has a consistency that coats the spoon, remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Continue to stir as the mixture cools. Be very careful not to overcook or the yolks will curdle. Cool to room temperature. Place the Butter and confectioners' Sugar in a mixer and cream together. Slowly add the cooled cream mixture until you have achieved a light, creamy frosting consistency.
