Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 4 pieces Egg yolks
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 25 g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Kiwis
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 handful Optional: Mint leaves (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine 400 ml of milk and vanilla extract. Heat this over medium-low heat until it just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and the remaining 100 ml of milk until smooth and lump-free.
Step 3
Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents the eggs from curdling.
Step 4
Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and set it over medium heat. Stir continuously using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 6–8 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Remove the custard from the heat and immediately transfer it to a bowl to cool. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the custard directly to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Step 6
Peel and slice the kiwis into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Step 7
To assemble, divide the chilled custard equally into serving dishes or glasses. Arrange the kiwi slices decoratively on top of the custard.
Step 8
Optional: To enhance the presentation and flavor, garnish with a mint leaf on top of each serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for another 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy your refreshing custard with kiwi!
