VANILLA CUSTARD WITH RASPBERRY MASH
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla bean to a boil over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cornstarch and whisk vigorously until no lumps remain. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture until incorporated. Whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture, reserving the empty saucepan.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and slowly boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Pour into individual dessert dishes and chill. Chill at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. (The custard can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Cover with plastic wrap if you are keeping it longer than that.)
- Raspberry Mash: Place 1/4 of a pint of raspberries in a bowl with the sugar and mash it with the back of a fork. Toss in the remaining 1/4-pint of raspberries and gently toss to coat.
- Whip the cream with the sugar and serve on the custard and mash.
FLUFFY VANILLA CUSTARD WITH CRANBERRY KISEL
Steps:
- MAKING THE CUSTARD: In a bowl, mix flour and 250ml milk. Beat the mix until it's thin and runny like a crepe batter. Beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar and 2/3 tsp vanilla sugar until pale. Set aside. In a saucepan, bring to boil the remaining milk. Just as the milk starts to boil, add in the milk&flour mix while stirring. Add in egg yolks&sugar. Keep stirring vigorously to break up large lumps. Smaller lumps might remain; we use a blender to get rid of them after the custard is ready. Simmer the custard for a couple of minutes, stirring all of the time, until it thickens. Set aside. Add remaining sugar to cooled egg whites and whip them until thick and firm. It's time you use a blender to break up small lumps in the custard, if any. When the custard is smooth and creamy, add in the whipped egg whites and stir together gently. Leave to cool for approximately 3 hours. MAKING THE KISEL: Rinse and crush the cranberries. Place crushed berries into a saucepan and add sugar. Pour 1.8 l boiling water over the cranberries, keep them on high heat until bubbles appear, then bring heat to medium low and keep the mix boiling gently for about 10 minutes. The colour of crushed berry skins will fade as they boil, and you can stop whenever you feel like the berries have given all of their juices and flavour. In the meantime, dissolve the starch in 100ml cold water. When cranberry mix is ready, pass it through a sieve to get rid of berry skins and return the hot cordial into the saucepan. Keep it on medium low heat and slowly pour in the starch mix. This is the crucial moment and you've got to keep stirring kisel as you add more starch, and stir well afterwards. The better you stir the better the texture of your kisel will be. After you've added starch, just bring kisel to boil. Remove from heat and leave to cool. A thin skin might appear on the surface of kisel after it's cooled, just remove it!
BASIC VANILLA CUSTARD
My mother's recipe--eat on its own or pour over canned peaches or guavas or, my fave, bread pudding. If you are really grossed out by the possibility of flecks of egg white in your custard, you can either pass it through a fine-mesh sieve or substitute four yolks for the two whole eggs.

Steps:
- Have eggs ready in a bowl, and set aside where it will be within reach.
- Using a whisk, combine milk, sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat on stovetop. Allow milk to scald (heat to the point when tiny bubbles form around edges of pan). Whisk occasionally to prevent cornstarch from clumping on bottom edges of pan.
- Remove milk mixture from heat, preferably to a burner that's turned off.
- Mix about 2 tablespoons of scalded milk mixture into eggs using whisk, then introduce eggs into milk mixture in a slow stream, whisking milk mixture constantly.
- Immediately return pan to heat and whisk gently until custard thickens, another two or three minutes. Do not allow to boil. (If you find that you have egg white strands in custard, feel free to pass it through a fine-mesh sieve into a different bowl now.)
- Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla.

FROZEN VANILLA CUSTARD
American-style ice cream uses no eggs, but this is the French style--with eggs! It's rich and creamy and, although traditionally served soft in cones, I prefer to freeze it firm then scoop it.

Gradually add the remaining milk-cream mixture and whisk thoroughly. Whisk in vanilla. Cool completely (you can place the bowl in a larger bowl with ice water to cool it faster).
- Pour cooled mixture into a pitcher; cover. Refrigerate until ice cold or overnight.

CUSTARD BUTTERCREAM
Custard buttercream (German buttercream) is a very rich buttercream icing made with the addition of custard. You can change it up by adding different flavors or liquor. This is my basic time-tested recipe for decorating cakes and cupcakes. Makes enough buttercream for one 3 to 4 layer cake or 24 cupcakes.
