    TIP Can substitute vanilla extract if preferred, instead of TIP vanilla pod or vanilla bean paste.

    TIP It is important to stay within the 74°C–79°C range. The eggs should reach at least 74°C for them to be food safe but will curdle and scramble if overcooked. Additionally, cooking to this temperature range integrates the sugar and thickens the mixture, resulting in smoother texture.
