Indulge in this rich and creamy vanilla custard, a timeless dessert that has been cherished for generations. Its nostalgic flavor is worth every minute of preparation, making it a delightful treat to share with family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups hot water
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Nutmeg for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large glass or metal bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and hot water.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light in color and fluffy. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the eggs to temper them, then combine the two mixtures fully. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Pour the custard mixture into ramekins or a 2-quart baking dish. If using ramekins, place them in a high-sided baking pan.
- Fill the baking pan with about half an inch of water. Bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If using a larger baking dish, bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
- Allow the custard to cool for 1 hour. Before serving, sprinkle with nutmeg. Enjoy it warm or refrigerate for a chilled treat!
Savor the deliciousness!
