How To Make Custard Without Custard Powder

We use the following ingredients to make homemade custard without custard powder.

Ingredients to make custard without custard powder

2 large eggs

3 cups whole milk

3 tablespoons corn starch

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

6 tablespoons sugar adjust according to preference

Steps To Follow (The Process)

Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add 2 cups of milk to the whisked eggs and whisk again to make a smooth egg milk mixture. I recommend straining this mixture through a good quality strainer in case the mixture is not very smooth.

In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and 1/2 cup of milk, mix very well to form the cornstarch base without any lumps.

Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk to the cornstarch mixture and mix well to form a smooth mixture.

Add this cornstarch milk mixture to the egg milk mixture, mix everything very well, you can use the balloon whisk for the best possible consistency.

Transfer the contents to a medium sized saucepan, add in the sugar and vanilla essence, stir everything well and bring the mixture to a boil by cooking in medium heat, stirring continuously using a good wooden spoon or use a good quality steel spatula.

Stirring continuously, cook the mixture in medium heat until the mixture is creamy. Mine took around 8 to 9 minutes to reach the desired consistency. You do not need to cook it further as the custard will further thicken a bit as it cools down. Once the custard is done, switch off the stove and keep the saucepan away from heat.

Whisk the custard again using a balloon whisk for the best, smooth and creamy texture.

You can check the sugar and if needed, you can add more sugar and vanilla essence to the custard, mix again very well using a balloon whisk.
Let the custard cool down, and once it is cooled, it is ready to be used as you like, either warm or chilled or use as a base for other recipes.
