Notes
EXPERT TIPS
Vanilla bean paste is quite an expensive ingredient and while it gives a delicious flavour, it's not essential to this recipe. It can be replaced with vanilla extract or vanilla essence.
How can I make my custard extra thick?
If you would like your custard to be very thick, cook it for an extra 2-3 minutes (but remember that it will thicken on cooling).
If you don't want to use your custard immediately, pour it into a bowl and place cling-wrap so that it touches the surface of the custard to stop it from forming a 'skin'.
Storing
Store any leftover custard in an airtight container in the fridge. Place a sheet of cling-wrap over the top (see tip above).
