Ingredients

  • 400 ml milk

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 40 g sugar

  • 15 g cornstarch

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 100 g sweetened condensed milk

  • Optional: cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

  • Instructions

    1. Heat the Milk
      In a medium saucepan, gently heat the milk. Add the lemon zest and vanilla sugar. Stir to infuse the flavors.

    2. Whisk Eggs and Sugar
      In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy.

    3. Dissolve the Cornstarch
      In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold milk until smooth.

    4. Temper the Eggs
      Slowly pour a bit of the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Gradually add the remaining milk while whisking.

    5. Cook the Custard
      Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens to a custard-like texture.

    6. Add Lemon and Condensed Milk
      Stir in the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.

    7. Finish and Serve
      Remove from heat. Pour the custard into serving dishes. Strain through a fine sieve if you want a smoother texture.
      Decorate with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings. Chill before serving or enjoy it warm.
