Creamy Baked Vanilla Custard

Ingredients:

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

4 cups hot water

6 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Nutmeg for garnish

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Mix Milk and Water:

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and hot water until smooth.

Whisk the Eggs:

In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy.

Temper the Eggs:

Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the eggs while whisking, to temper the eggs. Then, combine the rest of the milk mixture.

Add Vanilla and Salt:

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Prepare the Baking Dish:

Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a 2-quart baking dish. Place the ramekins in a high-sided baking tray.

Bake the Custard:

Carefully fill the tray with about half an inch of water to create a water bath. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If using a larger dish, bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Cool and Serve:

Allow the custard to cool for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
