Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.Heat the Cream
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate until melted.
Do not let the cream boil.Mix Egg Yolks
In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk until the mixture is pale and creamy.Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the warm chocolate cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Add the cream gradually to temper the yolks.Pour and Bake

The custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.Cool and Chill
