Usually when we have custard Bubba (who has as little sugar as I can manage in her diet) has a spoon full of custard mixed in with natural Greek yoghurt. So hers is more essence of custard.
A couple of nights ago I made vanilla bean custard. But this time I didn’t dilute Bubba’s (three dessert spoons) serving.
And it was good.
Lick your lips and your plate, ask for more kind of good.
Forget your manners and that you don’t usually make that much mess when you eat any more kind of good.
Get it all over your face kind of yummy.
Apparently.
When was the last time you enjoyed your dessert that much?
OMG! That’s adorable. I have looked like that on occasion! I love custard!!
I was eating some too and she made me stop and really think about how much I was enjoying it! I’m quite a good cook apparently
Sounds like good custard. Did you make it from scratch?
I did – I cook as much of our food from scratch (and generally after a trip to the farmers market) as I can!
Would it be possible to maybe get the recipe? It really sounds delicious.
Sure, I got it with a Christmas pudding recipe somewhere, some time ago (original recipe has the option to add a little brandy right at the end – not when sharing it with Bubba obviously)!
vanilla bean custard ingredients: 1 cup milk, 1 cup thick cream, 2 vanilla beans (or you can use vanilla bean paste), 50gm caster sugar, 6 egg yolks, 2 teaspoons of cornflour. method: place milk & cream in a saucepan; split the vanilla beans, scrape seeds; add the seeds & beans (or paste) to pan, bring to boil then remove from heat and set aside for 10 minutes to infuse; place sugar, egg yolks & cornflour in a bowl and whisk until pale & creamy; add to milk mixture & stir over low heat until thickened; then strain custard, discarding vanilla beans. {cover with plastic wrap if not using immediately to avoid it forming a ‘skin’}
Oh Dog! I wonder what she does with cookies?
You would love what she does with cookies Rumpy, Bella and Beary do – because they get to clean up the crumbs! And sometimes she just hands the cookies over
way to go Bella!
Go Bubba
due to creepy adult rules it’s been a really long te since I got to enjoy dessert that much!
Being a grown up is so over-rated – BOL
