Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and cinnamon stick.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it just to a simmer to infuse the milk with the cinnamon flavor. Remove from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, corn flour, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Slowly pour the warm cinnamon-infused milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the custard thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the mixture coats the back of the spoon and leaves a clear line when you run your finger through it.
- Remove the custard from the heat. Discard the cinnamon stick.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Let the custard cool slightly, then gently fold in the light sour cream until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
- Before serving, sprinkle the top of each custard with the ground cinnamon. Enjoy your delicious chilled cinnamon custard!
Tips:
- Infusion: To maximize the flavor, make sure to simmer the milk and cinnamon stick together for the full infusion time before combining with the other ingredients.
- Strain the mixture: After cooking the custard, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture and to remove any potential lumps or bits of cooked egg.
- Chill thoroughly: Allow the custard to chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least a few hours. This will not only enhance the flavors but also ensure the custard sets properly.
- Presentation: Garnish the chilled custard with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for an elegant touch when serving.
Once you have prepared this delicious chilled cinnamon custard, you'll understand why it's such a beloved dessert. The smooth texture and aromatic cinnamon make it a perfect treat for any occasion. Serve it chilled for a refreshing delight that will leave your guests craving more.
