Yield Makes 1 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
8 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Heat split vanilla bean, cream, and milk in the top of a double boiler over gently simmering water, until almost boiling.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Scrape vanilla seeds into milk, and discard pod. Pour a little of the hot milk into the eggs, whisking constantly. Pour the remaining hot milk into eggs, still whisking constantly. Transfer the egg mixture back to the double boiler, and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Be sure not to let the mixture boil, because it will curdle.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, and pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl set in a bowl of ice water. Stir the mixture as it cools to stop the cooking. When cool, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Will keep 2 days in refrigerator.

This custard is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This recipe is a great starting point for making soft custard. I like to add a little bit of vanilla extract and nutmeg for extra flavor.

I've tried many soft custard recipes before, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. I love that I can use any type of milk or cream, depending on what I have on hand.

This soft custard recipe is a keeper! It turned out perfectly creamy and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. I served it with fresh berries and it was a hit with my family.
