Custard Boiled Recipes

BOILED CUSTARD

Steps:

• Combine the cream, milk and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks, until the mixture has gone pale in colour and doubled in size.
• Temper hot milky mixture into the sugar yolk mixture, by slowly adding hot milky mixture about 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once half of the milky mixture has been added, transfer mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milky mixture.
• Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until mixture reaches nappé consistency, or 80°C (180°F) on a kitchen thermometer.
• Remove from heat and pour the custard into a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl into icy water and stir until the custard has cooled.
• Once it has cooled to a suitable temperature, it is ready to drink.
• For an added touch, top with whipped cream and grate nutmeg over the top. Enjoy!
