Anything topped with a sweet cream is definitely going to be on our favorites list, and this luxurious and creamy vanilla custard is right up there. We love to whip up a batch of this on the weekends and, if possible, scoop a dollop or two during the week to go on top of a bowlful of berries in the morning. It’s also absolutely amazing served warm for dessert. We know the process can seem a little bit intimidating, but it’s really pretty simple. Besides, once you make this you’ll likely be making it again and again so it will become almost second nature!
An classic vanilla custard is a little old-fashioned but something as sweet and delicious as this will never go out of style. Simple ingredients, milk, cream, egg yolks, vanilla and sugar and a lot of whisking will result in a sweet, velvety thickened cream – a custard – that can be eaten on its own or served over top of just about anything, from berries to pancakes. We like to serve this as a dessert with almond or ginger cookies crumbled over the top, and, truth be told, we’ve been known to sneak a spoonful (or two or three) from the refrigerator in the wee hours of the night too. It’s just that good.
Between the pouring and whisking required to get the texture of the custard just right (and to cook the eggs) your arms will definitely get in their workout! If you’ve never made a custard before, don’t let the process intimidate you; go slowly and just keep on whisking to make sure everything comes together. The finished product is a smooth and creamy custard that tastes positively divine. Expect to hear a cacophony of clattering spoons against bowls as folks attempt to scrape every last bit of custard from their dish!
