Old Fashioned Baked Vanilla Custard - Food Wishes

You just enjoyed a rich, comforting meal, and you’re craving something just as comforting for dessert, but it also needs to be light, and refreshing…and super easy. Impossible? No. Just make this. Enjoy!

My favorite recurring gag on this channel is the “touch of sugar” that appears in so many recipes 0:37 😂 love you Chef John

I've gradually reduced baking temp on custards lower and lower specifically for that luscious texture. Classic dessert and great every time, very easy to adjust macros too

That looks so good! My husband is an auto mechanic for the past 40+ years. He has absolutely no feeling in his fingers (nor can he hear)!

Looks delicious. I think I'll make me some o-o-old-fashioned vanilla custard... with milk and brown sugar.

We Can Tell Chef Liked His Desert, He Aparrentky Licked the Bowl Clean 😊

I love baked custard. It was one of the first desserts I learned how to make. Grandma taught me and now I've passed it on to my granddaughter! 😁

I love how he says "oooohhhld fashioned custard" every single time 🤣🤣

I made this recipe for the family — it was everything you said it would be. A comfort food for sure.

I'd love to see something like the egg custards baked in a wonton that a lot of chinese buffets seem to have...they're not the same kind of custard as this, but it's one that I enjoy a lot

I know you keep saying you like your custard light and silky. But the best custard tart I've ever eaten the custard was like a sweet vanillary butter. In perfectly baked sweet pastry, I could feel my arteries clogging up but had a smile on my face the entire time.

I could eat a whole big bowl of that! It looks amazing 👏 😍 👌

I do my custards, flans, and creme brulees in sous vide baths now. It's just so much less finicky IMO. Also, they keep for a good week in those sealed jars.

" But most importantly, nobody fights to get the bigger one" I like you sense of humour

[jasonhenninger]

Any thoughts on alternate extracts? Sub in Almond and Cinnamon. Or Rum with pineapple and Coconut. Any other combinations that would work in a custard?

[FlowerPower-cffp]

How about picnic foods? Spring's around the corner.

[L.Scott_Music]

What about half and half for something in between?

[Toonfish_]

A wonderful dessert, I just wish getting the ramekins out of the water bath wasn't such a pain 😁

If you want something with a little bit more depth, I can HIGHLY recommend replacing the sugar (or half of the sugar) with a mild honey (like acacia). I make basically all my creme brulee like that nowadays and it really makes the final result a lot more interesting.

[dawnsarrach]

How do you get them in them in the oven with out getting water in them??

[juts]

Make Creme brulee and skip the final step.

I like temp checking custard instead of toothpick/knife/wiggle tests. seems a lot more foolproof and im a fool. - 176F
