In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and maple syrup until well-combined. Whisk in cream and half and half, then set over medium heat. Whisking frequently, cook until a custard forms on the back of a spoon but a swiped finger leaves a clean line, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in salt and strain into an airtight container. Chill overnight, or at least six hours.
