southern boiled custard

Boiled Custard is a traditional holiday drink that is enjoyed in the South every Christmas. Cheap and easy to prepare, this is a family favorite!

Boiled Custard

500 milliliters (2 cups) double cream

500 milliliters (2 cups) whole milk

vanilla

sugar

whipped cream

Combine the cream, milk and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks, until the mixture has gone pale in colour and doubled in size.

Temper hot milky mixture into the sugar yolk mixture, by slowly adding hot milky mixture about 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once half of the milky mixture has been added, transfer mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milky mixture.

Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until mixture reaches nappé consistency, or 80°C (180°F) on a kitchen thermometer.

Remove from heat and pour the custard into a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl into icy water and stir until the custard has cooled.

Once it has cooled to a suitable temperature, it is ready to drink.

For an added touch, top with whipped cream and grate nutmeg over the top. Enjoy!
