Quickly pour the hot mixture in a steady stream over yolks, beating contantly on high speed. Continue beating till mixture is thick and smooth. Cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the unsalted butter till light and fluffy. Beat butter, 1 tablespoon at at time, into cool yolk mixture. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until stiff enough to spread.
