White Christmas custard

A simple stovetop custard, lightly spiced with nutmeg — a gentler dessert to close out a heavy holiday meal.

You'll need

• 4 egg yolks
• 2 cups whole milk
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract; a pinch of nutmeg

How to make it

1. Whisk egg yolks and sugar together until pale.
2. Warm the milk gently, then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture to temper it.
3. Return to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4. Stir in vanilla, chill, and dust with nutmeg before serving.
