Made with just a handful of simple ingredients, itโs the kind of recipe you make once and fall in love with forever. Itโs light, luscious, and wonderfully satisfying โ and best of all, anyone can make it.
๐ History & Formation
This recipe has its roots in old-fashioned stovetop custards, passed down through generations in homes where baking was a luxury and time was short. Inspired by classic European egg custards and Asian-style milk sweets, this version skips the flour and oven and focuses on maximum flavor with minimum fuss.
Itโs a modern twist on a traditional comfort โ soft, smooth, and melt-in-your-mouth. The addition of cornstarch gives it structure and bounce, while vanilla brings warmth and depth.
๐งพ Ingredients
Just 4 ingredients!
- ๐ฅ 1 egg yolk
- ๐ฌ 120g sugar (about ยฝ cup + 1 tbsp)
- ๐ฝ 90g cornstarch (a little over ยพ cup)
- ๐ฆ 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
โ Optional: Add a splash of milk or a knob of butter for richness (if you like).
๐ณ Method & Instructions
Step 1: Mix it up
In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until pale and creamy.
Step 2: Add dry ingredients
Sift in the cornstarch gradually while mixing, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3: Flavor it
Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Step 4: Cook it gently
Place the saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. The mixture will slowly thicken โ donโt rush this.
Step 5: Shape or set
Once thick and glossy (like a soft dough or pudding), remove from heat. Let it cool slightly. You can:
- Roll into bite-sized balls and chill
- Press into silicone molds and refrigerate
- Spread into a dish, chill, and cut into cubes
Step 6: Chill and serve
Refrigerate for at least 20โ30 minutes to firm up. Enjoy cold โ itโs soft, sweet, and so addictive.
