Ingredients
800 g (28.5 oz) milk
Zest of 1 lemon
10 g (0.35 oz) vanilla sugar
3 large eggs
80 g (⅔ cup) sugar
40 g (⅓ cup) cornstarch
Fresh lemon slices or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the lemon zest and vanilla sugar. Heat gently over medium heat until warm, but do not boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly pour a little of the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a smooth, creamy custard.
Remove from the heat and strain if desired for an extra silky texture.
Pour into serving glasses or dessert bowls and allow to cool slightly.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish with fresh lemon zest, lemon slices, crushed biscuits, or a few mint leaves for a beautiful finishing touch. Serve cold for the most refreshing flavor.
