Recipe Ingredients
- 400 millilitres milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 vanilla bean
Methods
Mix the egg yolks with the sugar, cornstarch, and about 50 millilitres of milk. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well blended. Pour the remaining milk into a saucepan.
Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla pod and the seeds to the milk in the saucepan. Heat until it comes to a boil.
Once the milk boils, remove the vanilla bean. Gradually and gently stir in the sugar-egg-cornstarch mixture. Reduce the heat to low and keep stirring constantly with a whisk, until thickened. Finally, pour the custard into the prepared molds and cover with cling film to prevent a crust from forming. Ensure the cling film touches the custard’s surface. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature. Once cooled to room temperature, it’s ready to be refrigerated until it’s fully chilled.
Enjoy!
