Obviously this recipe was never tested...Boil milk and cream for 4 minutes? really? I followed directions as written, even though I knew the milk would separate, I had hoped I was mistaken or that it would pull together when added to the egg mixutre. Don't try unless you don't mind disappointment. Waste of ingredients.
