THE INGREDIENTS

- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

- 4 large eggs

- 2 cups whole milk

- Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, or ground cinnamon for dusting

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or six ramekins.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and whole milk until smooth. Add vanilla and salt if using.

- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins.

- Place the dish in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dish. This water bath ensures gentle, even baking.

- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes for a large dish, or 25 to 30 minutes for ramekins, until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

- Remove from the oven and carefully take the dish out of the water bath. Let it cool to room temperature.

- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture.

- Dust with ground cinnamon if desired and serve chilled or at room temperature.

PRO TIPS AND VARIATIONS

For the smoothest custard, whisk the ingredients gently and avoid creating too many bubbles. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before baking if you want an extra silky texture.

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of nutmeg, or a tablespoon of melted butter to the custard mixture. Your husband will love the richness.

This recipe is highly adaptable. Substitute the whole milk with coconut milk for a dairy-free version. For a caramel custard, drizzle caramel sauce over the top before baking.

For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mixture.

Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to four days. Serve cold or gently reheated.
