Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams White chocolate
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and set aside in a heatproof bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges but do not let it boil.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and pale in color.
Slowly pour the heated milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.
Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan and return it to medium-low heat. Stir constantly using a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula to prevent sticking.
Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl with the chopped white chocolate.
Allow the heat of the custard to melt the white chocolate, then stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Transfer the custard to serving dishes or bowls. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, ensuring the wrap touches the custard directly.
Let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Serve as a dessert on its own, or use it as a filling or topping. Garnish with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired.
