Classic Vanilla Custard

Classic Vanilla Custard is one of my favourite desserts from my childhood. Milk, cream, vanilla and egg yolks are combined to make a thick, rich mixture that can be served hot or cold, poured over pies, puddings or cakes, or simply served by itself - give it a go!

step 1
In a saucepan, add Milk (1 1/2 cups), Whipping Cream (1 cup), and Vanilla Extract (2 tsp). Cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat until nearly boiling, stirring continuously.
step 2
Set the liquid mixture aside and cool for 10 minutes. Strain the milk mixture into a heat-proof jug.
step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the Eggs (6), Caster Sugar (1/2 cup), and Corn Starch (2 tsp) together.
step 4
Add milk mixture to egg yolk mixture and whisk together. Then return to pan and stir over medium heat stir for 10-15 minutes. To test the custard's thickness, coat the back of a spoon and make a line against it with your finger. If the line holds, it's ready!
