  • Medium

In a saucepan, combine the 2 cups crema pesada, 1 cup leche entera, and half the azúcar granulada (6 tbsp). If using a 1 vaina de vainilla entera, add the scraped seeds and pod now. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to steam and small bubbles form around the edges — do not boil. Remove from heat.
