Custard

Method

Custard Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Milk

    In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and Texas lavender. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Strain the lavender-infused milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

  4. 4

    Cook Custard

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Pour the custard into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Raspberry Whip Cream Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Raspberry Whip Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.

  2. 7

    Fold in Raspberries

    Gently fold in fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them too much.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Top each chilled custard with a generous dollop of raspberry whip cream before serving.
