Delicious Vanilla Custard Recipe – Easy Dessert Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Heat the Milk

    In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam.

    Do not let it boil.
  2. Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.

    Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

    This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Cook the Custard

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened.

    This may take about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Add Vanilla

    Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

    Let it cool slightly before serving.
