What is heavy cream?
- Heavy cream is made from milk, with a fat content higher than whipping cream, typically ranging from 36% to 40%.
- Heavy cream, once whipped, holds its shape better, making it ideal for decorating cakes or for making fresh cream desserts.
- Additionally, heavy cream has a sweet taste, whereas whipping cream does not have a pleasant flavor, so during the preparation of the dish, you should pay attention to adjust the amount of sugar appropriately when using heavy cream!

Beat eggs with sugar

Continue to place this mixture back on the stove, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. After that, turn off the heat and pour this mixture into a bowl.
Finally, add 240ml of whole milk, stir the cream mixture one more time, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 5 hours.
