Custard

I cooked a traditional southern boiled custard. Being without a double boiler, I improvised but never got it hot enough. It went to mid 150s. So it never thickened.
edit: put in fridge overnight...hoping somehow to magically thicken...it didn't
Can I reheat it to get it to thicken???

Awesome!
I reheated the custard directly on the burner for 30 minutes stirring constantly. I took it to 179*.
Pure nirvana. yum. You gotta make a custard.

I used what I had on hand:

3 cups skim milk
2 cups half in half
( warm milk mixture)
5 whole eggs
1 cup sugar
( mix with blender til sugar is incorporated)
then temper egg mixture slowly adding warm milk mix, then add rest of warm milk mix and return to heat)
the directions call for use of a double boiler.
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

heat slowly until it coats a spoon...I went to 179*. It was fabulous when it came off the burner, I can't wait to try it cold.

well this am it is a spoonable custard not a beverage....but it is gooood
