Santa Clara Vanilla Custard
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, and vanilla bean (or extract). Heat over medium heat until it simmers, then remove from the heat and let steep for 10-15 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until it becomes pale and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch.
-
Temper the eggs: Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue adding the milk mixture until the egg yolks are warmed through.
-
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat, stir in Rompope Santa Clara, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
-
Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until chilled.
Note
This custard can be used as a filling for cakes, pastries, or as a base for other desserts.
