  3. Heat the Heavy Whipping Cream and Whole Milk in a saucepan until steaming, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Gradually drizzle the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously.
  5. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup.
  6. Divide the strained custard among four ramekins, filling them three-quarters full.
