Method

Put the egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl and gradually whisk in the sugar. Continue to whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is thick and pale. (Do not use an electric mixer as this will incorporate too much air into the mixture.) Stir in the sifted cocoa.
Combine the milk, cream and vanilla bean in a saucepan. Bring to the boil,
