Dessert Recipe · Serves 6
White Christmas custard
A simple stovetop custard, lightly spiced with nutmeg — a gentler dessert to close out a heavy holiday meal.
You'll need
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 cups whole milk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract; a pinch of nutmeg
How to make it
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar together until pale.
- Warm the milk gently, then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture to temper it.
- Return to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Stir in vanilla, chill, and dust with nutmeg before serving.
