8 servings
- •¾ cup white sugar
- •3 tablespoons cornstarch
- •2 ¼ cups milk, divided
- •3 large eggs, separated
- •1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
- •1 pinch salt
- •1 tablespoon white sugar
- •½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
Instructions
- Dissolve 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch in 1 cup of milk. Beat egg yolks. Add beaten egg yolks, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and salt. This makes a thick paste.
- Put the rest of the milk in a heavy pan over low heat. Add the paste mixture and stir constantly. Cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens or coats a spoon.
- Beat egg whites until stiff and then add 1 tablespoon sugar as you continue beating. Fold this mixture into hot custard.
- Pour into individual ramekin serving dishes (sometimes I use thick martini glasses if I want to get fancy).
- Chill for a minimum of 5 hours and sprinkle remaining nutmeg over chilled dessert for presentation.
