What is a Sweetened Condensed Milk Custard Recipe?

Sweetened condensed milk custard is a creamy and velvety dessert made with very few ingredients – eggs, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. It is almost a cross between flan and pudding and has this silky texture that melts in your mouth. Sweet but not sugary, it can be served chilled as well as warm. No need for fancy stuff or tricks–just a bowl, a whisk, and a baking dish.

Ingredients

Custard Base:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups whole milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Optional (for a flavor twist):

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon (for spice)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (if you like it extra sweet)

The Sweetened Condensed Milk Custard Recipe:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160C).
2. Whip the eggs in a large bowl until they are smooth.
3. Sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla, and salt until thoroughly blended.
4. Optional: At this point, add some nutmeg or cinnamon to create an even warmer flavor.
5. Put the custard into a baking dish or ramekins that have been treated with a little grease.
6. Put these into a baking dish suitable for use as a roasting pan. Then fill the roasting pan halfway full of hot water along the sides.
7. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the center has a set but slight jiggle to it.
8. Let cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours for coolness.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Not suitable for the freezer-it changes its texture upon thawing.

Serving Suggestions

• Top with some fresh-cut fruits like berries or bananas.
• Sprinkle with some brown sugar and torch for a bruléed effect.
• Serve alongside shortbread or graham crackers.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Replace whole milk with coconut milk to make it dairy-free; that is, unless you are using some non-dairy sweetened condensed milk as a substitute.
• Want a firmer custard? Add an extra egg.
• Use a fine mesh strainer after mixing for an extra smooth texture.
