Grape-Nuts Custard in Nanny's Memory image

My nanny passed away when I was 10 years of age though one of my fondest memories is of her grapenut custard and how it was a staple in her home. If it was not just a visit but a family dinner at her house, it always came out with a dollop of whipped cream on top. I have been making this for years and cannot help but remember my nanny and smile with each bite. I like it best without the whipped cream and cold from the fridge just like it always was a nanny's house. This recipe gives a nice caramelized almost crisp top and a soft velvety interior. c.2007

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup Grape-nuts cereal
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/16 teaspoon salt
butter (to grease casserole)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine the cereal, salt and milk while preparing the remainder.
  • Grease with butter a 2.5 qt casserole dish.
  • In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup combine the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and emulsified.
  • Pour the cereal and milk mixture into a mixing bowl and add the egg and sugar mixture. Stir well though do not allow to get overly foamy.
  • Pour into the greased casserole and bake 60 minutes. This is done when a knife inserted halfway from the edge to the middle comes out clean.
  • Do not attempt to overbake, it will appear underdone in the middle. Carry over cooking will handle that. Overcooked and it makes a nice albeit sweet hockey puck!

This custard is amazing! The grape nuts add a great texture and flavor. It's also very easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover grape nuts.

This custard is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. Otherwise, it was a very good recipe and I would definitely make it again.
