Creamy Vanilla Custard Dessert 🍮
This smooth and creamy vanilla dessert is easy to make with simple ingredients. It has a rich, silky texture and can be served in glasses with a dusting of cocoa powder.
Ingredients
- 500 ml milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 80 g sugar
- 40 g cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
- 100 ml heavy cream
- Cocoa powder, for decoration
- Ladyfingers or sponge biscuits, optional
Instructions
- Heat the milk:
Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until warm. Do not let it boil. - Prepare the egg mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch until smooth and creamy. - Combine:
Slowly pour some of the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This helps prevent the eggs from scrambling. - Cook the custard:
Pour everything back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. - Add the cream:
Remove from the heat and allow the custard to cool slightly. Whisk in the heavy cream until the dessert becomes smooth and velvety. - Chill:
Pour the mixture into serving glasses. Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. - Decorate and serve:
Dust the top with cocoa powder. For a beautiful presentation, place a ladyfinger or sponge biscuit on top of one serving.
Enjoy your creamy, silky vanilla custard dessert! 😋🍮
