How to Prepare Custard Cake Recipe
🥚 Separate the egg yolks from the whites (see tutorial below if needed). 🥣 In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. 🥛 Heat milk on medium in a saucepan until it simmers, not boils. ♨️ Slowly add warm milk to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper it. 🔥 Pour the tempered mixture back into the pot and cook on medium heat, whisking until thickened (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat. 💦 Dip cookies in water briefly, then layer in a baking dish. Add custard on top and repeat this process until you have 3 layers of cookies and custard. ❄️ Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results. 🍪 Before serving, top with crushed cookies, walnuts, toasted coconut, or chocolate shavings.
