 Creamy Custard Dessert with Cinnamon

Ingredients:

– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large egg yolks
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Ground cinnamon for topping

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Ingredients:**
– In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.

2. **Mix the Custard Base:**
– In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined.

3. **Temper the Egg Mixture:**
– Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents them from scrambling.

4. **Combine and Cook:**
– Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

5. **Add Vanilla:**
– Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6. **Strain the Custard:**
– Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.

7. **Chill the Custard:**
– Pour the custard into a serving dish or individual ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

8. **Serve:**
– Before serving, dust the top of the custard with a generous amount of ground cinnamon.

Enjoy your creamy, cinnamon-topped custard dessert!
