How to Make Boozed Up Custard For Cream Puffs

  1. In a medium non-stick saucepan, heat 2 cups (475ml) whole milk, 1/4 cup (60ml) of your choice of liquor (rum, whiskey, or vodka), and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar over medium heat.
  2. Whisk together 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch and 2 large eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.
  3. Once the milk mixture is hot (but not boiling), slowly whisk in the cornstarch-egg mixture. Continue whisking constantly until the custard thickens significantly and comes to a simmer, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter.
  5. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate completely for at least 2 hours.
  6. Fill your freshly baked cream puffs with the chilled boozy custard.
