Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make custard without oil? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. For this cream I choose fattier milk. The cream made with this milk produces a whiter, more delicate texture. But you can take milk of any fat content. My eggs are category C1.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour milk into a non-stick pan, place on heat and bring to a boil.

Step 3

Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, sugar and flour. Add a pinch of vanilla. Homemade eggs have very bright yolks and the finished cream will turn yellow.

Step 4

Step 4
Add a little hot milk from the total mass and mix everything until smooth so that there are no lumps.

Step 5

Step 5
Then pour the hot milk into the egg mixture and mix everything constantly. Then pour everything back into the pan and return to the heat. Stirring, bring the cream to a boil. When heated, the cream will thicken. The more flour added to it, the thicker it will become. Cook the cream once, then you will know what consistency you need.

Step 6

Step 6
Custard without oil is ready! Cover it with cling film in contact and cool. Why cover with film? This is necessary so that a chapped crust does not form on the surface of the cream. The cooled cream will become even thicker.

Step 7

Step 7
I cooked a double batch of cream at once and it was enough for a Napoleon cake weighing about 1.5 kg. This custard is not suitable for decorating a cake, as it does not hold its shape well. Napoleon cake with this cream can be simply sprinkled with crumbs. Cook with pleasure!
