1 vanilla bean
1 cup half-and-half
3 egg yolks

Add a little hot half-and-half, whisking. Pour this mixture back into saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly until thick and creamy. Do not boil or custard will curdle. 6. Remove custard sauce from heat. Beat until smooth. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add to vanilla custard. Spread over half of the baked pastries. Cover with sliced strawberries.
