Custard milk is a key ingredient in creating creamy custards, providing a unique blend of richness and texture. It serves as a flavour carrier, enhancing the overall taste of the custard.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Nova UHT Milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch, ensuring a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Next, heat the Nova UHT Milk in the saucepan over medium heat until it becomes warm, but avoid letting it come to a boil.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and continuously whisk them while gradually incorporating a small amount of the hot milk.
- Once the egg mixture is well combined, pour it back into the saucepan and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring it constantly.
- Keep stirring until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the salt and vanilla extract.
- To eliminate any lumps or bits of coagulated egg, strain the batter of the custard through a fine-mesh strainer.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before chilling. As the custard cools, it will naturally thicken. Refrigerate it to allow it to cool and set.
