TYPE : Traditional
Beverage
YIELD : 8 cups
CALORIES : 325 kcal
COOK TIME : 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME : 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS :

  • 4 cups (1 liter) whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (1 dl) sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla paste/extract or 4 tsp vanillin sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 cup (2.5 dl) heavy cream
  • 1/2 – 1 cup (1 – 2 dl) alcohol to taste (optional, I prefer Grand Marnier)

INSTRUCTIONS :

  • In a pot, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and spices.
  • Heat while whisking until the mixture is just about to boil.
  • Remove from heat and allow the custard to cool (at least 2 hrs in the refrigerator or about 30 min in an ice bath).
  • Meanwhile, beat the cream until soft peaks form (do not overwhip).
  • Mix the cool custard with the cream until blended, then add your alcohol of choice to the desired taste (optional).
  • Store in the refrigerator (how long depends on the amount of alcohol).

NOTES :

Can also be made using vanilla bean, but it needs to be steeped for a few minutes in the hot milk before adding the eggs. (Remember to temper the eggs by whisking in the hot milk gradually.)
