Ingredients You Will Need:
Milk two cups
Custard powder vanilla flavor two tablespoons
Sugar three tablespoons or as per taste
Vanilla essence one teaspoon
Fresh cream optional two tablespoons
Water half cup
Step by Step Method:
First take a small bowl and add custard powder into it. Slowly add water to the bowl. Mix it well with a spoon until it becomes smooth. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. This step is very important because lumps can spoil the texture of your custard. Keep this mixture aside for later use.
Now take a heavy bottom pan and pour milk into it. Place the pan on medium heat. Let the milk warm slowly. Stir the milk gently to stop it from sticking to the bottom. When the milk becomes hot but not boiling add sugar into it. Stir well until the sugar fully dissolves. This creates a sweet base for the custard.
Once the milk is hot and sweet slowly pour the custard mixture into the pan. Keep stirring the milk continuously with a spoon. This helps the custard cook evenly and become thick. Do not stop stirring or the custard may stick or form lumps. Cook on low heat for about five to seven minutes.
You will notice that the milk starts to thicken and turn creamy. This is the sign that the custard is cooking well. When the custard reaches a smooth thick texture turn off the heat. Add vanilla essence and fresh cream if using. Mix gently to blend the flavors.
Let the custard cool down for a few minutes. You can serve it warm or chilled based on your choice. If you want to chill it cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for one hour. Vanilla Custard Delight is now ready to enjoy.
