Step3Place finely chopped white chocolate in medium bowl; set aside. In 2-quart saucepan, beat egg yolks, 2 tablespoons sugar, the salt and vanilla with whisk. Beat in whipping cream and milk. Sprinkle gelatin over top of cream mixture; beat well. Cook mixture over medium heat 8 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly, until custard is thickened and smooth.
