Cook over medium-low heat just until bubbly. Slowly pour hot cream mixture over the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly until combined. Remove the vanilla bean pod.
Return mixture to saucepan. Cook and whisk over low heat until mixture thickens and reaches 165 degrees (do not boil). Remove from heat; transfer to a bowl set in ice water to cool quickly, stirring occasionally. When cool, cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.
