Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 10 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
2 cups whole milk
1 vanilla bean
1/4 cup honey
3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
2. In a saucepan, heat the milk, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla pod over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not boil.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
4. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
6. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps and the vanilla pod.
7. Pour the custard into serving dishes and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
