Golden syrup custard

Golden syrup custard is a delightful and creamy dessert that combines the rich flavors of sour cream, milk, egg yolks, and maple syrup. It's a perfect treat for those who enjoy a smooth and velvety texture with a hint of sweetness. This recipe is simple to make and results in a luxurious custard that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh fruit.

Ingredients:

1 cup light sour cream
230g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
3 yolks
50g
1/3 cup maple syrup
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This allows the oven to reach the necessary temperature while you prepare the custard mixture.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the light sour cream, milk, egg yolks, and maple syrup. Whisk the ingredients together until completely smooth and well combined. Ensure that the mixture is homogenous and that the sour cream is fully integrated.
3. Strain Mixture (Optional): For a smoother custard, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl or a large measuring jug, to remove any lumps or curdled bits.
4. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a large baking dish. Place the ramekins or baking dish into a larger roasting pan to create a water bath. This will help in getting an even, gentle heat during baking.
5. Water Bath Setup: Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins or baking dish. The water bath will prevent the custard from overheating and curdling.
6. Bake: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-45 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center. The baking time may vary based on the size of your custard dishes.
7. Cool: Remove the custards from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once the custards have cooled down, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
8. Serve: Serve the golden syrup custard chilled. You may garnish it with a drizzle of additional maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to whisk the egg yolks well before adding them to the mixture to ensure a smooth custard.

- Heat the milk mixture gently and avoid boiling it to prevent curdling.

- For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of 1% fat milk.

- Strain the custard mixture before baking to remove any lumps and achieve a silky texture.

- Bake the custard in a water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent the custard from cracking.

Golden syrup custard is a wonderfully rich and creamy dessert that's surprisingly easy to prepare. By following a few simple tips, you can create a perfectly smooth and velvety custard that will impress your family and friends. Whether enjoyed on its own or with a garnish of fresh fruit, this custard is sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
