I actually really wanted to know how to make custard myself. It was a real comfort food as a child. I wanted to be able to give the same memory to my 5 year old daughter. So glad you made this video. Thanks Chetna!

Chetna, thank you for showing us all how to make homemade custard. It’s something my grandmother used to make for me and my cousins in the mornings back in the Caribbean. There’s nothing like a nice bowl of warm custard during the winter months or at anytime of the year.

After seeing your donuts with cream custard recipe and now your cream custard recipe, i've subscribed! Yaaay!!! Your instruction is so thorough and makes the recipe so easy to follow, and your voice is so soothing, calming. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with such a bright and positive spirit. It warms my soul!🙏🙌

Brilliant video! What a lovely woman giving a great demonstration of the finer points on making a custard! Years ago, at a restaurant, I had cheesecake for dessert, but they had drizzled custard on the plate before placing the cheesecake on top. It was great cheesecake, but the custard, to me, sent it to a whole other level of goodness. I've been wanting to replicate it ever since. Thank you for sharing!

Yum Yum. Best thing about the colder months with steamed sponge puddings, and there are so many favourite ones. Its 23 degrees here, just had a thunderstorm, lots of rain, now feels like a sauna, i'd still have custard though.

Wowy....
I never ever thought of adding cream with milk. Great idea.
Just a query, can we use the small mixie jar instead of whisk...whem mixing the eggs and sugar

Looks delicious Chetna thank you! Will try it for Christmas. How long can this be stored in the fridge?

I love custard with bowl fresh fruit salad.

[shaysherrill]

Is that 200 ml table cream? Or double cream(like heavy whipping cream i guess)?

I’m SOOO thankful for thus lovely recipe, thank you! I’ve been looking for at least three months for this type of delicately flavored, classic custard recipe. I watched your custard filled doughnut recipe Video and then searched to find this recipe with you teaching us. Your teaching style and cooking method is so easy to watch and you put a smile on my face today! I think it would be amazing to see you on the Food Network. I hope you consider that. Blessings!

Hot custard over home made apple pie, or tinned peaches...yumm, we also used to have it over sliced banana too.yumm.

Made this custard today. It was really good! I doubled the recipe, but it didn't turn out as smooth as yours. Could it be because I might have overcooked it a little? Or maybe the heat was a little too high?

[mellaraine]

Great timing! I made custard for the first time yesterday and it was runny. Now I know why. The recipe didn't call for corn flour. I'll try it your way next time 🙂

[maggyxchuu]

OMG IM GOING TO TRY THIS. Custard is my absolute favorite

[carefreedelight]

What do you do to make a chocolate custard: use cocoa powder with the cornflour or melt some chocolate separately and then pour it into the custard before sieving????

[vesnat]

This is delish 😍! I do not have vanilla extract, I'll just try with pure vanilla...

[twillett]

This looks so lovely! I haven’t made a homemade custard in ages! You’ve inspired me! Xoxo

[excaliber]

So do you add the custard to the double cream for the donut filling. Thanks and great videos

[BookBrokeMyBrain]

Simply delicious! I love the look of those eggs.
Have you ever done a glossary of food terms for sub-Asian cooking? I'm learning from you the technique of making a curry, but there are so many words for stages or parts of cooking that I don't know. What do garam, masala, bhuna, chonk, etc. refer to?
I've made a few of your recipes from these videos and they have been Thanks for the rice cooking tip, as well. A big help.
PS - I adore your very short hair. You have the beautiful face for it. :)

I tried different recipes for custard, but I like the most yours. Especially the consistency of your custard. Thank you for sharing, Chetna! 😘
