1
Make the Custard
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, semolina, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
2
Add Eggs
Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add a small amount of the warm custard to the eggs to temper them, then slowly mix the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
3
Simmer
Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until fully combined and thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
