Classic Spanish Custard (Natilla Dessert) Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 cinnamon stick
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Ground cinnamon, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, cinnamon stick, and lemon zest. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Once the custard has thickened, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the cornstarch is fully cooked.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick and lemon zest.
5. Pour the custard into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
6. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover each bowl with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
8. Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top of each custard for garnish.
9. Serve the Classic Spanish Custard (Natilla Dessert) cold, and enjoy the creamy, comforting flavors of this traditional Spanish treat!
