This is a classic recipe given to me by a friend. It looks very easy. I haven't made it myself, but I've tasted hers and it is fantastic. Also known as vla, this custard can be made with low- or non-fat milk and you can brew the coffee to the desired strength. Read more . I haven't converted the measurements so if anyone wants to volunteer their services, I'd be more than grateful. :) Ingredients:
385 ml whole milk, divided |
125 g white sugar |
105 ml strong brewed coffee |
1 egg yolk |
1 egg white |
35 g custard powder |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the custard powder and 1/2 cup of the
2. milk; set aside.
3. Sprinkle the sugar into a saucepan over medium heat.
4. When the sugar begins to caramelize, add the remaining milk and coffee
5. to the pan, and bring to a boil.
6. At this stage, the caramel will become
7. very crusty.
8. Reduce heat to low, and cook until the sugar dissolves,
9. about 5 minutes.
10. Stir in the custard powder mixture, and cook, stirring
11. until the custard thickens.
12. Remove from heat, and whisk in the egg
13. yolk.
14. In a clean glass or metal bowl, whip the egg white until soft peaks
15. form.
16. Fold the egg white carefully into the custard mixture.
17. Transfer
18. to a serving dish and refrigerate until firm.
