Ingredients
people
- 1 liter milk
- 1 vanilla bean
- 3 egg yolks
- 75 gram sugar
- 50 gram cornstarch (or custard powder, which gives a more yellow color)
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Glass jar
INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):
- Pour the milk into a saucepan. Scrape out the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the pan, then drop in the pod as well for extra flavor.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it gently simmer for 10–15 minutes to infuse.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly so it blends smoothly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
- Pour the custard into glass jars and let it cool in the fridge. For maximum flavor, leave the vanilla pod in and only remove it just before serving.
