Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 500 milliliters (17 fluid ounces) milk
- 6 teaspoons Nutella chocolate spread
- 20 grams (0.7 ounces) butter
Thickening Ingredients:
- 25 grams (0.9 ounces) flour
- 30 grams (1 ounce) corn starch
Sweetening and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 60 grams (2.1 ounces) sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
Garnish Ingredients:
- Roasted peanuts
- Pistachios
- 6 paper or glass cups
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, create a smooth base by whisking together flour, corn starch, sugar, and vanilla sugar, ensuring no dry ingredient clumps remain.
- Slowly stream cold milk into the dry mixture, continuously whisking to develop a silky, uniform texture without any lumpy formations.
- Position the saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent bottom scorching, allowing the mixture to gradually thicken and reach a gentle bubbling point.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat source and incorporate soft butter and creamy Nutella, blending until the mixture transforms into a glossy, rich custard with a uniform chocolate tone.
- Carefully distribute the warm custard into individual serving cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full to allow room for toppings and prevent overflow.
- Allow the custard to rest and cool naturally at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for thorough chilling and setting, which typically takes 2 hours.
- Just before presentation, generously scatter a mix of roasted peanuts and vibrant green pistachios across the chilled custard surface, creating a delightful textural and visual contrast.
Notes
- Use a whisk to prevent lumpy custard and ensure smooth, creamy texture.
- Stir continuously while cooking to avoid burning and create consistent thickness.
- Chill custard cups completely for firmer, more set dessert with enhanced flavor development.
- Customize nut toppings by substituting with almonds, walnuts, or cashews for different taste profiles.
