Among the plethora of classic desserts that grace our tables, custards reign supreme as a truly indulgent delight, captivating taste buds with their creamy richness and luxurious texture.
With roots deeply embedded in culinary traditions, custards, often referred to as “egg custard” or “Amish custard,” epitomize the decadent sweetness that characterizes Amish cuisine, evoking a sense of nostalgia and comfort reminiscent of simpler times.
Ingredients:
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Embodying the essence of sweetness, a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk serves as the foundation of this luscious custard, infusing each spoonful with a delightful richness.
- Hot Water: Four cups of hot water, meticulously measured, serve as the liquid counterpart to the condensed milk, creating a harmonious blend that forms the base of the custard.
- Eggs: Six eggs, cracked open and whisked to perfection, lend their creamy consistency and velvety texture to the custard, elevating it to a level of unparalleled indulgence.
- Pure Vanilla Extract: Two teaspoons of pure vanilla extract add a touch of warmth and aromatic depth, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the custard with its rich, fragrant notes.
- Salt: A pinch of salt, carefully measured, serves to balance the sweetness of the custard, elevating its taste and adding complexity to its flavor profile.
- Nutmeg (for garnish): A dash of nutmeg, delicately sprinkled over the custard, serves as the crowning glory, imparting a subtle yet distinctive aroma and flavor that tantalizes the senses.
