Method
In heatproof bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt milk chocolate and dark chocolate, stirring until smooth. Set aside.In small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the cream over medium-high heat just until tiny bubbles form around edge of pan.
In separate heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and salt; slowly whisk in hot cream. Place bowl over saucepan of gently simmering water; cook, stirring, until instant-read thermometer reads 160 F (71 C) and mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk in melted chocolate and vanilla. Place plastic wrap directly on surface; let cool, about 15 minutes. Whip remaining cream; fold one-quarter into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Divide among dessert dishes; cover and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
