Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup full-fat milk
½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 oz dark chocolate (optional for a chocolate twist)
Fresh berries or fruit of your choice (e.g., raspberries, strawberries, mango)
Crushed nuts (optional for topping, e.g., almonds or pistachios)
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Make the Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch together until smooth. Gradually pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Slowly whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture.
Cook and Thicken: Return the saucepan to the heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. If adding chocolate, stir it in now until fully melted and combined.
Cool and Set: Pour the custard into individual serving bowls or a large dish. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set and chilled.
Serve: Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or your choice of fruit and nuts for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled for a luxurious treat.
