So, the first of my inventions is about to come your way. This little concoction if you may call it was a result of sweet tooth pangs in Baroda when I shared my premises with one of the best people I have come to know - Hricha Lahkar. So we're two girls craving for something sweet at night and we really don't want to eat the cold custard we made the night before. We thought to put in a crispy twist and voila! we had our own take on custard and cornflakes!
To make this texturally exciting dessert, all one needs is custard (which you don't need to make from scratch. Just catch hold of one of those custard powder mixes), cornflakes (any brand will do - its pocket friendly) and some sugar.
Make the custard according to the directions on the pack. A helpful tip: make it slightly thicker than usual by adding around half a tablespoon extra powder in the prescribed amount of milk. While the custard id setting in the fridge, take out the pan - the kind you would make an omelet or pancake in - and start caramelising sugar on low heat. the amount of sugar depends on you. Ideally, two tablespoons of sugar along with a sprinkling of water should do fine for two people. Keep a close eye on the sugar and when it reaches a brownish colour and syrupy consistency, add the cornflakes. Again, the ratio of cornflakes to sugar depends on how caramelised you want your cornflakes. )Hricha and I usually put in three to four spoonfulls of cornflakes and it worked great for us!) Once the cornflakes are coated with the caramel (or whatever you prefer to call it :D ), let them cool a while. Take out that delicious custard from the fridge, put a ladleful into your bowl and top it with the crispy bittersweet cornflakes and enjoy! For variations, try chopped nuts and fruits (when available or affordable).
P.S. Best enjoyed on a cozy night with great company!!!
