Do you want to learn how to make a delicious bird’s custard for trifle? Well, you’re in luck because I’m going to show you exactly how to do it! This creamy and rich custard is the perfect addition to your trifle and will have all your friends and family begging for the recipe. So grab your apron and let’s get started!

First things first, let’s gather our ingredients. You will need:
– 2 cups of milk
– 1/2 cup of sugar
– 4 egg yolks
– 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt

Now that we have everything we need, it’s time to start cooking. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. While the milk is heating up, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt in a separate bowl until it becomes a smooth mixture.

Once the milk is heated, slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling. Once everything is combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return it to the heat.

Keep stirring the custard constantly over medium-low heat until it thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Be sure not to let it come to a boil, as this could cause the custard to curdle. Once it has reached a thick and creamy consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Now, it’s time to get creative with your trifle! You can layer the custard with pieces of cake, fruit, and whipped cream in a trifle dish for a beautiful presentation. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can use the custard as a filling for a cake or pastry. The possibilities are endless!

So there you have it, a fun and easy way to make a delicious bird’s custard for trifle. I hope you enjoy making and eating this tasty treat as much as I do. Happy cooking!
