Instructions:
- Heat the milk:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar:
- In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale and smooth.
- Temper the eggs:
- Slowly pour a small amount of the warm milk into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Gradually add the rest of the milk while continuing to whisk.
- Cook the custard:
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (do not boil).
- Add flavor:
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Chill:
- Pour into serving cups or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set and chilled.
- Serve:
- Top with fruit, caramel, or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flair. Enjoy the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture!
💡 Tips:
- For a richer version, use half milk and half heavy cream.
- For a chocolate version, whisk in 2–3 tbsp of cocoa powder or melted chocolate before chilling.
- Be gentle when cooking — constant stirring ensures a smooth, silky texture.
If you like, I can also give a 4-ingredient ultra-easy version that’s just as creamy and dreamy but ready in minutes, no baking required. Do you want me to do that?
