"Tutti Frutti Custard" sounds like a delightful dessert that combines the creamy texture of custard with the colorful and flavorful elements of tutti frutti (a mix of candied fruits).
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup tutti frutti (mixed candied fruits)
Chopped nuts (optional, for added texture)
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and slightly pale in color.
Gradually add the cornstarch to the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Slowly pour a small amount of the heated milk into the egg yolk mixture while whisking vigorously. This is to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
Gradually pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remainingmilk, whisking constantly.
Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium heat. Cook the mixture while stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This will create a custard-like consistency. Be careful not to let it boil.
Once the custard has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the custard to cool slightly, then refrigerate it until it's completely chilled.
Once the custard is chilled, gently fold in the tutti frutti and chopped nuts, if using.
Serve the tutti frutti custard in individual dessert dishes or bowls. You can also top it with additional chopped nuts or a sprinkle of candied fruit for garnish.
Remember, this is a basic guide, and you can adjust the ingredients and quantities to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade tutti frutti custard!
