Written by Admin

If you’re looking for an easy, creamy dessert with irresistible flavor, this recipe is perfect.

With a smooth texture and a touch of cinnamon, these homemade custards will become a classic at your table.

The best part is they’re made with simple ingredients and are amazing for any occasion.

Ingredients:

 

  • 1 liter whole milk

  • 5 egg yolks

  • 150 g sugar

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 1 lemon peel (only the yellow part)

  • 40 g cornstarch

  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

  • Sweet cookies (like vanilla wafers or sweet “criollitas,” optional)

Preparation:

 

 

  1. In a saucepan, heat the milk (reserving one glass aside) with the cinnamon stick and lemon peel. When it starts to boil, turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes so the milk absorbs the flavors.

  2. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is frothy and lighter in color.

  3. Dissolve the cornstarch in the reserved cold glass of milk and add it to the egg yolk and sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

  4. Remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel from the hot milk.

  5. Slowly pour the hot milk into the yolk mixture, stirring constantly to avoid curdling.

  6. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent sticking or lumps.

  7. Cook until the custard thickens and has a creamy consistency, but don’t let it boil to avoid curdling.

  8. When ready, remove from heat and pour into individual containers or a large bowl.

  9. For an extra touch, place a cookie on each portion while the custard is still warm.

  10. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

  11. Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon over each portion.

Tips for Perfect Custard:

  • For a stronger flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the hot milk.

  • For a lighter version, substitute whole milk with skim or almond milk.

  • If you prefer a fluffier texture, whisk the mixture lightly after it has cooled.

  • This dessert pairs wonderfully with dulce de leche or whipped cream.

This dessert is so easy and tasty that it’ll become a must-have at your gatherings.

Try it and enjoy a homemade recipe full of flavor!
