Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 500 ml (16.9 fluid ounces) milk
- 300 g (10.6 ounces) condensed milk
- 200 ml (6.8 fluid ounces) cream
- 200 ml (6.8 fluid ounces) hot milk
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 40 g (1.4 ounces) melted butter
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a medium saucepan and whisk together hot milk, condensed milk, and cornstarch until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth, eliminating any potential lumps.
- Transfer the saucepan to medium heat, gradually incorporating cream, egg yolks, melted butter, and remaining milk while maintaining constant stirring to prevent scorching.
- Continue whisking the liquid mixture for 5-7 minutes, observing as it gradually transforms and thickens to a luxurious, velvety consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from heat source and infuse the creamy mixture with rich vanilla essence, gently folding to distribute the aromatic flavor throughout.
- Carefully transfer the silky dessert into serving dishes or individual ramekins, allowing natural cooling at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Place the prepared dessert in the refrigerator, allowing it to chill and set for a minimum of 2 hours, which will enhance its creamy texture and intensify its flavor profile.
- Prior to serving, artfully garnish the chilled dessert with delicate chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder, creating an elegant visual and taste contrast.
Notes
- Customize the dessert by using alternative milk options like almond, coconut, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Prevent lumps by whisking cornstarch thoroughly with hot milk before adding other ingredients, ensuring a smooth, silky texture.
- Enhance flavor complexity by experimenting with different extracts like almond, coconut, or orange essence instead of vanilla.
- Control sweetness levels by adjusting condensed milk quantity or using sugar-free alternatives for a lighter, diabetic-friendly dessert.
