Why This 3-Ingredient Custard Is So Special
Unlike many modern desserts that require many ingredients, this recipe relies on the natural richness of eggs and milk.
Desserts
- Eggs provide structure and create the creamy custard texture.
- Milk gives the dessert its smooth, delicate body.
- Sugar adds sweetness and helps create a balanced flavor.
A small amount of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg can be added for extra flavor, but the classic version remains delicious with only the three essential ingredients.
