Ingredients
- 4 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups whole milk

Combine the half-and-half, whole milk, allspice and sugar in a large saucepan and heat until steaming.
Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl and ladle some of the hot mixture into the bowl while whisking constantly. Then whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining hot liquid.

This recipe has been a HUGE hit across the board with my family and friends for many years now. It's silky, light texture is well rounded and extremely delicious.

Well, I'm sorry to ruin the party but this recipe was so not good. And I was so dissapointed. I made it the day before Christmas morning and I'm glad I did, because I had to quickly run out and buy some store bought. I don't know what I did wrong but it was so thick I could hardly pour it and it didn't look very appealing. The taste wasn't horrible, but the texture was.
