Take 50 ml of milk aside. Bring the remaining milk to a boil with sugar and remove from heat. Whisk cornstarch and vanilla sugar into the reserved milk and egg yolks until smooth. Stir into the non‑boiling milk and gently heat (do not boil) while stirring until the mixture becomes creamy. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Whip the cream stiffly and fold it into the cooled custard.
