Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.

Add Milk and Cream: Gradually pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and no lumps remain.

Cook: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5–7 minutes.

Add Flavor: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Chill: Pour the mixture into serving dishes or ramekins. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
