About this recipe

This vanilla custard is made with milk, egg yolks, and potato starch, with tart cherries providing a fruity contrast. Vanilla gives the base a delicate aroma, while the cherries add tartness, color, and a more pronounced flavor. Cook the custard slowly, stirring constantly, so it thickens evenly without lumps. Add the cherries after cooking the custard, or warm them separately briefly, so they retain their distinct fruit character.

Ingredients

Servings
Base: 4
Eggs, yolks, and whites stay in whole units.
  • 250 ml milk

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1 tablespoon potato starch

  • 120 g fresh pitted sour cherries, patted dry

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Steps

  1. Pour off about 80 ml of the cold milk and mix it with the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and potato starch.

  2. Heat the remaining milk, approximately 170 ml, for 2–3 minutes, then pour in the starch mixture, stirring constantly.

  3. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the custard thickens, then transfer it to dessert cups.

  4. Wash and pit the sour cherries, checking for any pit fragments left in the flesh. Drain jarred cherries thoroughly. Heat the cherries separately for 1–2 minutes, or add them fresh to the finished cream, dividing them between the dessert cups.

  5. Serve once cooled slightly.
