Kazandibi Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Custard

   In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the milk is warm.

2. 2

   Mix Egg Yolks

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. 3

   Combine Mixtures

   Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

4. 4

   Cook the Custard

   Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   Cool and Set

   Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a large dish and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

6. 6

   Caramelize the Sugar

   Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of the set custard. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it is golden and bubbly.

7. 7

   Serve

   Allow the caramelized sugar to cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Kazandibi!
