Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 Large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to steam.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add a few tablespoons of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Slowly pour the tempered egg yolks into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking continuously, until it thickens to a creamy custard consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
Transfer the custard to a heatproof bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled.
When ready to serve, spoon the chilled custard into individual serving dishes or bowls.
Top each serving with an assortment of fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi slices.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with a mint leaf, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
