Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Crumbs:
- 1 cup fine cookie or pastry crumbs (store-bought or homemade)
- A pinch of sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
For the Custard:
- 4 egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Optional Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Cocoa powder
- Fresh berries
- Shredded chocolate
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crumbs
- Place the crumbs in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Cook the crumbs, stirring constantly, until they turn golden brown. This should take about 8–10 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!
- Once golden, remove the crumbs from the heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Custard
- In a separate non-stick pan, combine the sugar and egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the flour and whisk again until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Place the pan on the stove over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens. This usually takes about 6–10 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and let the custard cool completely.
