Creamy custard dessert with 2 ingredients: simple and easy

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Optional: sugar or sweetener to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
  2. While the milk is heating, whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth.
  3. Once the milk is heated, gradually pour it into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs. This prevents them from scrambling.
  4. Once all the milk has been incorporated into the egg yolks, pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
  5. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. If you prefer a sweeter custard, you can add sugar or sweetener to taste during this step.
  7. Once thickened, remove the custard from the heat and pour it into serving dishes.
  8. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
  9. Serve the creamy custard dessert chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

This simple and easy creamy custard dessert is smooth, velvety, and deliciously satisfying. Enjoy it as a delightful treat any time of the day!
