Trifle with Homemade Custard
WHAT YOU NEED:
For Custard:
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of anchor fresh cream
- 5 egg yolks
- ½ cup of caster sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
Rest of Trifle:
- 225g of unfilled sponge cake
- Watties canned peaches sliced in light syrup
- Sprigs of mint
Topping:
- Greek Yoghurt
- Whipped Cream
WHAT TO DO:
1. Split bean pod in two and scrape insides out.
2. Combine the milk, cream and vanilla seeds + pod in a
saucepan and bring to simmering
point over a medium heat.
3. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until
light and foamy. Add the hot milk and cream mixture, whisking continuously to
combine, then return the mix to the cleaned saucepan on a medium heat.
4. Using a spoon, stir continuously for roughly 10 minutes,
until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
5. Strain the custard through a fine sieve, discarding the
vanilla pod. This is to make sure the custard is nice and velvety. The custard
is now ready to be served warm or cold.
