Creamy Custard Dessert Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, and 1 cup of the milk until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat the Milk:
    • In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 3 cups of milk over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Combine and Thicken:
    • Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
    • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Flavorings:
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
  5. Strain and Pour:
    • Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or directly into individual serving cups to remove any lumps.
  6. Chill:
    • Allow the custard to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
    • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve the creamy custard chilled. Optionally, you can top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy your smooth and delicious creamy custard dessert!
