comforting dessert

Treat the family to this baked egg custard for a comforting dessert. Serve warm or leave to cool in the fridge overnight and enjoy with poached fruit

Egg custard

vanilla

caster sugar

whole milk

double cream

Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Beat together the eggs, vanilla and sugar with a wooden spoon until combined. Mix in the milk and cream and pour into a medium-sized dish. Finely grate over a generous grating of nutmeg.

Half-fill a roasting tin with water to make a bain-marie. Place the dish in the tin so that the water comes about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the dish. Bake for 45-50 mins, or until just set with a slight wobble in the centre. Serve warm or leave to cool in the fridge overnight. Serve with poached fruit.

This awe-inspiring dessert is the perfect balance between impressive and absolutely comforting.
