Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 40g (1.4 oz) sugar
  • 15 g (0.5 oz) cornstarch
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) condensed milk
  • Cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate for decoration

 

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Milk Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Heat over medium until it just begins to boil, then remove from heat.
  2. Mix Egg Yolks and Sugar: Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy.
  3. Add Cornstarch: Sift the cornstarch into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  5. Cook Until Thickened: Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add Lemon Juice and Condensed Milk: Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and condensed milk until well combined.
  7. Beat Until Thick: Beat the mixture until thick and creamy.
  8. Cool Down: Pour into a serving dish or dessert cups and let cool to room temperature. Decorate with cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate.
  9. Refrigerate: Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
