How to Make Two-Ingredient Creamy Custard
Step 1: Whisk the Ingredients
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and whisk again until fully combined. The mixture should look pale and silky, with no streaks of egg remaining.
Step 2: Strain for Extra Smoothness (Optional)
For an ultra-smooth custard, strain the mixture through a fine sieve. This removes any bubbles or egg bits and ensures a flawless texture.
Step 3: Prepare the Cooking Method
Pour the custard mixture into heat-safe ramekins or a small baking dish. Place them in a baking tray and pour hot water into the tray until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dish. This water bath helps the custard cook gently and evenly.
Step 4: Bake Slowly
Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 35–45 minutes. The custard is done when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Step 5: Cool and Set
Remove from the oven and allow the custard to cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. As it chills, it will firm up into a perfectly creamy consistency.
How to Serve It
This custard is delicious on its own, but you can easily customize it:
Add fresh fruit on top
Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg
Drizzle with caramel or honey
Serve chilled or slightly warm
Its mild flavor makes it a perfect base for endless variations.
