Blueberry Custard Cups

🍰 Desserts

Blueberries sinking through baked custard, the summer-fruit dessert. Cool and creamy, the kind of dessert that calms a big meal down. Serve chilled, straight from the fridge, in small glasses or ramekins.

Prep 17 min Cook 10 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Blueberries2 cups, chopped
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out all ingredients and the serving dishes first; the cooking itself moves quickly.

  2. 2

    Scald the milk with the egg yolk — small bubbles at the edge, never a rolling boil.

  3. 3

    Combine the blueberries with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.

  5. 5

    Pour into dishes, chill at least four hours, and serve cold with milk on top.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
