Desserts don’t always need a long list of ingredients or complicated steps to feel special. Sometimes, the most impressive treats come from the simplest combinations. This two-ingredient creamy custard dessert is a perfect example. With just a pair of everyday ingredients, you can create a smooth, silky dessert that tastes rich, comforting, and surprisingly elegant.
It’s the kind of recipe that feels almost too easy—until you taste it.
Why This Recipe Works
Custard is all about texture. When the right ingredients are gently heated together, they transform into something greater than the sum of their parts. This recipe relies on the natural thickening power of eggs and the richness of milk or cream. No flour, cornstarch, or gelatin is needed—just patience and gentle heat.
The result is a naturally creamy dessert with a delicate flavor that can be enjoyed as is or dressed up with toppings.
The Only Two Ingredients You Need
Eggs
Sweetened condensed milk (or milk with sugar, depending on preference)
That’s it. These two ingredients create the custard’s structure, sweetness, and velvety mouthfeel.
