Vanilla Custard Recipe. Creamy Vanilla Custard flavoured with coffee, rum or chocolate. Can be served with a variety of tasty desserts. Experience our Vanilla Custard recipe.
Step 1: You will need
* 6 egg yolks
* 100 g sugar
* 230 ml milk
* 230 ml cream
* 1 vanilla pod
* 2 bowls
* 1 saucepan
* 1 whisk
* 1 wooden spoon
* 1 sieve
* 1 cutting board
* 1 knife
Step 2: Prepare the vanilla pod
Begin by cutting the vanilla pod lengthwise without cutting it all the way through. Next, scrape the pulp from the inside and put both the pod and the pulp into a pan.
Step 3: Warm the milk and cream
Now place the pan over a medium heat adding the cream and milk, being careful not to let it boil. Allow it come to a slow simmer and then immediately remove it from heat.
Step 4: Blend the yolks and sugar
In a bowl mix the yolk and sugar together with the whisk, blending well until the mixture turns pale.
Step 5: "Temper" the yolks
While continuing to whisk the yolk and the sugar, slowly add some of the milk into the bowl a little at a time. This action is called “tempering.”
It is done to slowly bring the temperature of the egg mixture up to the temperature of the milk without cooking the eggs. When the eggs are tempered, add them to the milk. Mix together gently without creating a foam.
Step 6: Cook the custard
Place the mixture over a medium heat while slowly stirring using the wooden spoon. Be sure to scrape the spoon along the bottom of the pan so that the custard does not stick and overcook.
Continue to cook until the mixture begins to thicken. The sauce is thick enough when you can draw a line along the surface of the spoon with your finger and the line remains visible.
VIDEOJUG TIP:
The custard should never be allowed to come to a boil. The moment it begins to thicken, remove from the heat. If it overcooks the custard will curdle and you'll have to start again!
Step 7: Strain the custard
After removing the custard from the heat, immediately pour it through a sieve and strain. It needs to have a smooth but slightly clingy consistency.
Step 8: Serve
Serve your custard with fresh berries or any puddings and serve it either hot or cold.
VIDEOJUG TIP:
The custard can be flavoured by adding: Instant coffee (add to milk and cream as it comes to a simmer); Rum (add in at the end of cooking along with 2 Tbsp of coconut milk); or Chocolate (add about 75 g. just before straining the custard).

Step 1: You will need… .
* 6 large eggs, separated
* 140 g caster sugar
* 60 g cocoa powder
* 220 ml double cream
* 230 g plain chocolate
* 2 large eggs, separated
* 2 tbsp water
* icing sugar for dusting
* a knob of butter for greasing
* 2 baking trays relined with parchment paper
* 1 saucepan
* 1 spatula
* 1 whisk
* 1 wooden spoon
* 1 electric mixer
* cling film
* 3 large bowls
* 1 small bowl
Step 2: Preheat the oven
Set the oven to 180ºC (350ºF/ gas mark 4)
Step 3: Break the chocolate
To begin making the chocolate sauce, break the chocolate roughly into pieces into the metal bowl then add the water.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate
Place a saucepan onto a high heat, half filled with water and bring it to a simmer. Put the bowl of chocolate on top of the pan and allow it to melt, stirring occasionally which will take about 5 minutes. Once melted remove from the heat and mix into a smooth paste.
Step 5: Mix with egg yolks
Pour the two egg yolks into a separate large bowl and taking your whisk, beat them lightly. Spoon in the melted chocolate and stir well.
Step 6: Whip the egg whites
Tip the two egg whites into a large bowl and with your mixer on a high setting, whip into soft peaks.
Step 7: Add egg whites
Into the bowl of melted chocolate, spoon in the stiffened egg whites with your spatula and gently begin to fold in. This keeps the air in and creates a light, fluffy consistency.
Step 8: Seal and chill
Cover the bowl with cling film and seal tightly, then place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour.
Step 9: Grease the paper
Coat the paper on the baking tray with a layer of butter.
Step 10: Make the sponge
Add the six egg yolks into a large bowl and whisk briefly until they begin to slightly thicken. Add the caster sugar and whisk again for roughly 30 seconds. Finally add the cocoa powder and whisk well.
Step 11: Whip the egg whites
Take the egg whites from the six eggs and put them into a large bowl. With your mixer on a high setting, whip until they form soft peaks.
Step 12: Add egg whites
Add the stiffened egg whites to the chocolate mix and fold in with your spatula.
Step 13: Layer the chocolate mix
Pour the chocolate mix into the relined baking tray and smooth to the edges with your spatula.
Step 14: Bake
Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until it becomes spongy. Once baked allow to cool in the tray, for roughly 30-45 minutes.
Step 15: Dust the tray
Whilst the sponge is cooling, liberally dust the second relined baking tray with icing sugar. Then lay the cooled chocolate sponge onto the dusted tray, parchment paper side up and remove the paper.
Step 16: Whip the cream
Pour the cream into a bowl and with your electric mixer switched onto a high setting, whip the cream for roughly 3 minutes to form soft peaks.
Step 17: Spread the mix
Spread the chocolate mix evenly, all over the sponge, then spread over the whipped cream.
Step 18: Roll into a log
Carefully roll up the cake to make a log, rolling from the shortest side. Don't worry if it cracks, it just gives it a more rustic look.
Step 19: Dust and serve
Sprinkle some icing sugar over your Yule log and it's ready to serve!
