I’ve been admiring the most kawaii (Japanese for “cute”) treats served in Japanese cafes…
And wanted to make sumn adorably delicious here at home!
What I did was split open a fresh baked croissant (or a warmed up ready-made one), spoon in creamy egg custard (recipe below), and add your juicy strawberries! YUM is an understatement!
I’ve even included a Vegan Custard recipe because I’m cool like dat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch in saucepan over medium heat. Whisk while scraping bottom of pan to so cornstarch doesn’t burn. Continue until milk is scalded.
- Slowly add egg yolks while whisking. Continue to heat mixture 2-3 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Do not bring to boil.
- Remove from heat, pour into small bowl and chill until set.
