National Vanilla Custard Day | Vanilla Custard for One
Well, hello there, everyone! It’s National Vanilla Custard Day!
I got enthusiastic over today because a) VANILLA, and b) an easy recipe! I never realized how easy custard was to make until I made chocolate custard. But of course, chocolate isn’t my favorite so vanilla custard ended up being way more in line with what I enjoy. I hope you enjoy it too. 🙂
Vanilla Custard for One
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of cinnamon
Directions:
- Whisk together milk, cornstarch, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until milk mixture starts to bubbly slightly. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, add egg and beat lightly. Add 2 tablespoons of milk mixture to the egg and mix. Add this mixture into the milk mixture that's on the stove.
- Heat this mixture on medium and whisk until thick, about 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir in vanilla, pour into a bowl, and top with a pinch of cinnamon.
This was easy and a great consistency but too sweet. I think I could half the sugar.
I use artificial sweeteners and low fat milk to make this, I didn’t have vanilla but loved the chocolate idea! Thanks
Wonderful! Happy to hear it.
