Instructions

Step 1

Mix milk, heavy cream, and honey together. Heat the mixture until it is well combined and smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
Combine the mixture with the beaten egg yolks and a pinch of salt.
Pour the mixture into glass molds or jars (yogurt jars can be used). Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 40-50 minutes.
Cool the finished dessert, then refrigerate to set and enhance the flavors.

Servings

This honey custard is wonderfully versatile and can be served in various delightful ways. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Classic and Simple: Serve the custard as-is, straight from the fridge. The light, creamy texture and delightful honey flavor are a perfect match for any dessert lover!

Fruit Garnish: Add a pop of color and a burst of freshness by topping your custard with fresh berries, sliced peaches, or kiwi. 🍓🥭 The fruit's natural sweetness complements the smooth custard perfectly.

Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts like almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts on top for a contrasting crunch. A drizzle of extra honey wouldn't hurt either! 🥜🍯

Herb Infusion: For a more sophisticated touch, consider garnishing with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of dried lavender. 🌿

Whipped Cream: Elevate the experience by adding a dollop of homemade whipped cream. Your guests won't be able to resist! 💕

Variations

Interested in tailoring this recipe for gluten-free or vegan diets? We've got you covered!

Gluten-Free Option: This recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as you ensure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free. Double-check labels, especially on dairy products and honey, to be safe. 🌾✖️

Vegan Option: To make this recipe vegan, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and the milk with almond milk. For the egg yolks, try using a vegan egg replacer or a mixture of cornstarch and water. Agave syrup or maple syrup can replace honey to keep it sweet and delicious! 🌿🌸

Faq

  • Do I need to keep the honey custard refrigerated?

    Yes, after baking and cooling, it's best to store honey custard in the fridge. This helps the flavors meld together and gives the custard a delightful texture.

  • What if my custard turns out too runny?

    Make sure the custard is baked long enough. Each oven varies, so if necessary, bake a bit longer until set. Also, check you measured all ingredients accurately.

  • Can I use different types of honey?

    Yes, try experimenting with different honey varieties to find your favorite flavor. Each type of honey offers unique notes that can enhance the custard.

  • Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    Absolutely! This custard tastes even better the next day. Prepare and refrigerate it at least a few hours in advance for the best results.

  • What if I don't have yogurt jars?

    No problem! You can use small ramekins or any other oven-safe glass molds. Just ensure they are appropriately sized and heat-resistant.

  • How can I avoid a grainy custard texture?

    Be sure to gently mix the ingredients without over-beating. Over-beating can introduce too much air, leading to a grainy texture upon baking.
