In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale in color.
Slowly pour half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon (approximately 8–10 minutes). Do not boil.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the violet syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Allow it to cool slightly, then cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
To serve, spoon the chilled violet custard into individual serving dishes. Garnish with fresh violet petals, if desired, for an elegant finish.
