8 egg yolks

200g caster sugar

Seeds from 1 vanilla pod

1 Using an electric mixer, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar with the vanilla seeds for about 3 minutes until very pale and thick.

2 Slowly add the brandy while whisking until completely combined .

3 In a double boiler or using a metal bowl over simmering water, heat the egg mix, whisking until thickened so it coats the back of a spoon. This can be done in a pan over a low heat, but it is very important not to overheat or the mix will split (or worse, the alcohol will be lost).

Stir in the vanilla essence and allow to cool. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.

The mix is now ready to be used
