Equipment
  • whisk
  • Cup
  • large bowl
  • saucepan
  • Small serving glass bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vanilla powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • raspberry fruit color generated from red chicory
Instructions
 
  • Pour the milk into a large saucepan, add half of the sugar, and bring close to boil. Then reduce to medium heat, and bring it to simmer.
  • While the milk is simmering, whisk the remaining sugar, cornstarch, vanilla powder, and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Then, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Add the eggs to the cornstarch and sugar. Mix to combine. Pro tip: do not mix the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch too far in advance. Do it once the milk starts to boil and you’re ready to add the mixture to the hot milk.
  • Add 1 cup of warm milk to the cornstarch mixture and mix carefully. Then, add it to the remaining milk and heat it on low. Add a few drops of the coloring now. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or a whisk until the Tubby Custard thickens, for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and add butter to further thicken the custard mix. Then, add the vanilla, stir, and remove from the heat. Note: you can strain your custard if you want to get rid of the lumps.
  • Transfer your Tubby Custard to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cool it to room temperature and serve in tubby cups. The sweetest, gooey dessert is ready.
