Directions
- Pour the a2 Milk® Full Cream into a small saucepan.
- Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean in half lengthways. Scrape out the seeds with the back of the knife.
- Add the vanilla bean pod and seeds to the milk.
- Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until hot. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat.
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornflour, and caster sugar until well combined and pale.
- Remove the vanilla bean pod from the milk and discard.
- Gradually pour the hot milk over the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until the custard thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Do not allow to boil, as it may curdle.
- Serve warm over your favourite sponge cake, pudding, or crumble. Alternatively, cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate to serve cold.
