This vanilla custard is so tasty, smooth and easy to make, very versatile for perfectly going with any desserts.
When the weather gets cold, I like to serve warm custard with some of my favourite fruits or chocolate pudding.
It gives me a warm feeling. But if you like it cold, the taste is equally good. What most pleases me is that custard has a magic turning my family to like eating more fruits.
I followed this recipe step by step without any failure at the first time. I like to serve it with seasonal fruits with pastry.

Method:
- In a small saucepan, combine milk and thickened cream. Use a sharp knife to slice vanilla pod in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Add seeds into the milk mixture. Cook over medium heat and stir constantly for about 5 minutes, until hot. But don’t allow to boil. Remove from the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour well. Strain hot milk mixture over egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously. Drain through a fine sieve into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 15 to 20 minutes, until custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Don’t boil it anyway. Let it cool down. Serve with strawberries or any favourite fruits. Very delicious.
Notes:
- Vanilla pod is available at supermarkets or bakery shops. Or you might replace it with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Don’t allow the custard to boil as it might curdle as a result the texture won’t be smooth.
- The leftover egg whites can be used for making coconut macaroons, or steamed ginger milk custard.
Vanilla custard is one of my favourites. It is delicious warm or cold!
