Very easy and simple desert. This custard is creamy, not too sweet, it goes very well with fresh fruits or some berry juice on top.
My boys love when I make faces from the juice on top :) just using the back side of the teaspoon, make a shape and pour some juice in it.

Method
Whisk the sugar, egg yolks and cornflour together in a bowl of a standing mixer, let it mix for about 1 min, then set aside.
Pour the milk in a pan. Split the vanilla pod open, scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife and add these to the milk together with the vanilla pod. Gently bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Pour about a quarter of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking all the time, then slowly add the rest of the milk.
Put your pan back on a medium heat and cook while stirring continuously till the custard becomes thick.Remove from the heat and pour it into a bowl.
Remember to remove the vanilla pod!Serve with fresh fruits.
