Old-Fashioned Baked Custard

This old-fashioned baked custard recipe makes a smooth and creamy custard out of not much more than a can of sweetened condensed milk. It is comforting when served warm and refreshing when served cold.

Ingredients

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
6 large eggs
3½ cups water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325℉
Heat water in small saucepan until it just starts to boil. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and mix until full incorporated.
Slowly drizzle the hot water into the condensed milk mixture, making sure to whisk as you do to keep the eggs from scrambling.
Stir in the salt and vanilla.
Pour into an 8x8-inch pan or ramekins.
Bake for about 45 minutes if you are using ramekins or 60 minutes if you are using a square baking dish. It is finished when the top looks set and the center has a slight Jell-O like wobble.
Cool for at least one hour before serving, or chill if desired.
Garnish with a dusting of nutmeg before serving for a classic finish.
