The simple combination of milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla creates a delicate, smooth texture that's both satisfying and elegant. This recipe is a delightful way to enjoy a homemade custard, ideal for any occasion.
Instructions
- 1In a saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Do not boil. This should take about 5 minutes.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and slightly thickened. This should take about 2 minutes.
- 3Slowly drizzle a small amount of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Continue adding the milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly, until about half of the milk has been incorporated. This should take about 3 minutes.
- 4Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 170°F / 77°C). Remove from heat and let cool completely. This should take about 10 minutes.
- 5Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the custard into a freezer-safe container. Freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, until the custard reaches a soft-serve consistency (about 2 hours). Alternatively, use an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take about 2 hours.
- 6Serve the frozen custard immediately, or transfer to a freezer for a firmer consistency. Garnish with canned strawberries, if desired.
