Custard is a must-have nowadays for dessert and snack. It is mostly used as a complement to biscuits and pastries. This recipe proposed by Délices & Gourmandises will easily help you prepare your sauce.
A liquid cream with a vanilla flavor
Custard is a mixture of egg yolks, milk and sugar. Most of the time it has a vanilla flavor. Its liquid consistency is the reason why it is a perfect accompaniment to various desserts such as chocolate cake and ice cream. However, it has to be smooth and creamy in order to be a good custard.
Ingredients
In order to prepare a custard recipe for 4, here are the ingredients you need:
• 25 cl (1 cup) of milk
• 25 cl (1 cup) cultured cream
• 4 egg yolks
• 100 gr (1/2 cup) of sugar
• 1/2 vanilla pod
Preparation
• Boil the milk and vanilla together in a pot, then leave to cool
• Beat the egg yolks and sugar until you get a light color mixture
• Add cultured cream until the new mixture is evenly combined
• Pour the mixture into the milk and take out the vanilla pod
• Heat the mixture inside the pot and stir it with a spatula
• Make sure boiling point is not reached. The cream is ready when you draw a line on the spatula and it stays there well defined
• Leave to cool and keep it refrigerated
Also, if the cream was overcooked and became too thick, you can render its smoothness by using a long neck blender for a couple minutes.
