Ingredients for custard
This custard recipe uses just five ingredients that you should already have in your fridge and store cupboard.
Sugar - I use caster sugar for my custard, but as you will be milling it in the beginning you can use any white or raw sugar.
Cornflour (corn starch)
Milk - whole milk is best
Egg yolks - some custard recipes use the whole egg. however you will get a richer, creamier and more yellow custard by just using the yolks. Looking for a recipe to use up the egg whites? Try my Thermomix meringues or this Eton Mess recipe.

Seriously, you won't believe how easy it is to make custard in the Thermomix! And quick... it takes just around ten minutes total.
First add the sugar and cornflour to the bowl and mill for 10 seconds.
Then add all the other ingredients and use the THICKEN function (TM6 only). It takes around 10 minutes and rich creamy is yours to enjoy.
Don't have a TM6? Don't worry! You can make this Thermomix custard manually too. Just cook it for 7 minutes / 90 degrees / speed 4 and the results will be the same.
Serve immediately if you are pouring it over dessert or store it in the fridge for eating on its own later. It will be smooth and silky when hot but will set more solid once refrigerated.
How to serve custard
Custard is super delicious poured over your favourite dessert (such as apple crumble or apple pie). My kids also like it with slices of banana stirred through it.
BUT it is also amazing just on its own. My kids love it... I divide it up into small pots and store it in the fridge and then just they dig in with a spoon for dessert or a snack.

There are three types of custard: baked, stirred, and frozen. Baked custards include bread pudding, flan, and cheesecake, and are prepared by baking in an oven or water bath. Boiled Custards include beverages like eggnog. Puddings, creme anglaise (krem on-GLAYZ), and pastry cream are some examples of stirred custards.
The most common mistake people make in baking a custard is not putting enough water in the hot-water bath. The water should come up to the level of the custard inside the cups. You must protect your custard from the heat.
Egg custard is a variation on cream custard. Egg custurd is a tick rich creamy sweet or savory dessert, made mixtures of eggs or egg yolks, milk or cream, flavorings (vanilla, nutmeg, etc.) and optionally, sweeteners (sugar, honey). Basic custards are thickened and set by eggs alone.
Texture: Custards made with whole eggs tend to be firmer and more set due to the additional proteins in the egg whites. Custards made with only egg yolks are typically smoother and silkier, resulting in a creamier texture. Flavor: Egg yolks have a higher fat content and contain more flavor compounds than egg whites.
In the USA it is more like ice cream, or frozen Yogurt, or what the local place in St Louis Ted Drewes calls “concrete”. In other word it's usually a chilled confection of the same consistency as ice cream and often served by itself in a pot.
Brands vary, but vanilla ice-cream typically has about 10 per cent more calories than custard, as well as twice the saturated fat, less protein and half the calcium and potassium. However, ice-cream usually has less sugar and salt, too.
Custard is a decadent dessert made with eggs, milk, and sugar. Eggs are responsible for custard's thick and velvety texture, but some recipes (such as this one) call for thickeners such as cornstarch or arrowroot for extra richess.
Custard tends to scramble once the heat gets involved and can therefore prove tricky to master. You'll know your custard has scrambled once the mixture turns lumpy. This often happens as a result of overheating your liquid. But while curdled custard may seem like a lost cause, it doesn't have to be.
Stir as recommended by your original recipe, but if your custard is still runny, try more vigorous stirring. Make sure to use the appropriate tool, such as an immersion blender or a hand whisk.
Crème brûlée is a simple dessert consisting of egg yolks, cream, and sugar, making it rich in flavor and calories! Creme brulee and creme caramel are both classic French custards. They are the same in that they are both egg-based custards that consist of milk, sugar, and vanilla.
No curdling: Warm milk can gently heat up eggs in custards so they don't curdle later in the process. It can cut down on cooking time a little bit, too.
Raw eggs aren't safe to eat if they're unpasteurized. That means they could contain harmful bacteria. And even though eggs can be sold as pasteurized — meaning they're heated just enough so bacteria is killed off — you still shouldn't crack open an egg and start chowing down.
But when you overcook a custard, suddenly the connection is very, very clear. A nasty eggy taste takes up residence and won't go away. That's likely the result of heat breaking down the protein components cysteine and methionine to release sulphur, says Crosby.
Sweet custards are more common, though, and they can take the form of a filling for a pastry, like crème patissière, or pastry cream, which is a stirred custard with added flour; or a sauce that's poured over a dessert, such as crème Anglaise, which is simply a thin stirred custard; as well as the main element of the ...
Custard is a creamy, light dessert or sauce made from boiling or baking an egg-and-milk mixture. Custards are of two types—stirred or baked. They are used as desserts, sauces, bases for other desserts, and some savory dishes, such as a quiche or a frittata.
Most home cooks refer to frozen custard as ice cream, which is why many of our recipes at the Kitchn are also called ice cream, even though they contain egg yolks. Check out some of our favorite egg-based ice cream (aka custard) recipes. Ice Cream Basics: Recipe for a Custard Base.
