Instructions

5.	Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining maple cream mixture, whisking until well combined.
6.	Continue to cook the mixture on medium heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
7.	Remove the pan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
8.	Allow the mixture to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
