Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
First, make the cream in advance — then it can sit in the refrigerator 'for a special occasion.' But no more than 5 days! So, how to make custard. Whisk the egg yolks with sugar until smooth, add the sifted cornstarch (it's best to do this through a small sieve), and mix.
Step 2
Pour the milk and part of the cream (330 ml) into a saucepan.
Step 3
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise, add it to the milk and cream, bring to a boil, and hold for another 10 seconds. If you don't have vanilla pods, feel free to use vanilla sugar.
Step 4
Remove from heat, take out the pod, and scrape the seeds back into the saucepan with the milk and cream using a knife.
Step 5
Now, slowly pour the hot milk into the whisked yolks with sugar and cornstarch, stirring constantly.
Step 6
Place on the stove over low heat and, constantly stirring with a whisk to the bottom, cook until the 'first bubbles' appear. After that, cook the cream for another 3 minutes until it thickens.
Step 7
Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap (to prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the cream as it cools), and let it cool at room temperature. Then place it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Step 8
When it comes to serving, take out the cream, thin it out a bit with cream, whisk it, and serve with berries.
