Directions

In a small heavy saucepan, mix cream, egg yolks and sugar. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°. Do not allow to boil.

Transfer to a bowl; stir in vanilla. Refrigerate, covered, until cold. Serve over fresh berries.
