Instructions

To Make the Sauce

  • In a small sauce pot, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar.
  • Pour in the milk and whisk to combine.
  • Add in the egg yolks and vanilla bean paste and whisk once more.
  • Place the pot over medium low heat, whisking slowly but continuously and make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot.
  • In 5-10 minutes the sauce should start to thicken. It will become noticeably thicker and should bubble at least once.
  • When the sauce has thickened, immediately remove it from the heat and pour through a sieve into a heat proof bowl or jar.
  • Cover the surface of the sauce with plastic to prevent it from forming a skin, and allow it to cool before putting it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.

Notes

This will keep in the fridge, covered for 4-5 days. It can also be warmed briefly in the microwave before serving.
  • This recipe is very simple, however once you put the pot on the stove, don't walk away from it.
  • When the recipe tells you to keep stirring, it is important to keep stirring - this will prevent the milk from burning and the corn starch from clumping.
  • The moment the custard is ready, remove it from the heat and pour through a sieve to prevent it from cooking further.
