Quick and Easy Egg Custard Tart

Ingredients:
500ml (18 fl oz) double cream
1 vanilla pod
6 egg yolks
85g (3 oz) castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence (or rose-water)
baked blind (ie. cooked) sweet pastry case

I wasn't cooking this at home, which is why I transported the custard in a milk bottle (and also why I overcooked it a bit!) The custard itself is nice with crumbles or other puddings, and the vanilla infused cream tastes great with fruit (especially if you whip it up and sprinkle the whole lot with sugar)

I hope you enjoyed my video and give it a go!

Can you us smi skimmed milk instead of double cream??

[DowDow60]

@Shi752 i've never tried, but i don't think so. I think it's all the fat in the cream that makes the custard thicken. It might work if you add more corn flour...if you try it let me know how it goes cos milk would make it much healthier...relatively... XD
