Whiskey Recipes – Whisky Custard

Ingredients

300 ml full fat milk
300 ml single cream
zest of one Oranges
85 g caster sugar
6 egg yolks
2-3 tbsp whisky, your own favourite will do nicely

To make the Whisky custard heat the milk, cream and orange zest in a heavy-based saucepan and bring it up to a slow boil.

Meanwhile in a bowl beat the sugar and egg yolks together until pale.

Pour the hot milk mixture into the eggs and combine well. Return the mixture to a clean heavy-based saucepan and slowly bring up to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the spoon. Take great care not to let the milk mixture boil or it will curdle. Stir in the Whisky.
