(Continuous whisking prevents the eggs from scrambling.)", "Now begin whisking the cream in the saucepan and slowly pour in the tempered egg mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula. Continue stirring until the mixture has reached a temperature of 180 degrees F and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.", "Strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a metal bowl or container.
