Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a microwave-safe jug or bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, to ensure no lumps form.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute, then remove and whisk thoroughly.
Repeat the process of microwaving in 1-minute increments, whisking in between, until the custard thickens to the desired consistency (about 3-5 minutes in total).
Once thickened, remove from the microwave and whisk well to ensure smoothness.
Serve warm over your favorite dessert or allow it to cool and thicken slightly before serving. Stir before use if it has been chilled.
