How to Make Filled Custard With Fresh Fruit
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Pour the mixture into the top of a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water).
- Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, until the custard thickens significantly and coats the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
- Cover the double boiler and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps. This step is optional but yields an extra-smooth texture.
- Divide the custard evenly among two (1-cup) ramekins or molds.
- Cover the ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the custard is completely set and chilled.
- To serve, carefully invert the ramekins onto serving plates. Top with your favorite fresh, sliced fruits such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries, or raspberries.
