Best 7 Colombian Pineapple Custard Recipes

NATILLA DE PINA (PINEAPPLE CUSTARD)

Steps:

• Bring the pineapple juice to a boil in a small saucepan and reduce until it measures 1/4 of a cup; once reduced, cool and reserve.
• Combine the milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring up to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Dissolve the cornstarch into the cooled pineapple juice, whisk to make sure there are no lumps and then whisk into the simmering milk mixture.
• Continue to simmer and stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.
• Add some of the milk mixture to the egg yolks, mix and then add the egg yolks to the pot, stirring all the while.
• Raise the heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture is very thick and puddinglike.
• Remove immediately from the heat and pour into a dessert bowl. Refrigerate at least four hours or overnight.
• Dust with nutmeg before serving.

NATILLA COLOMBIANA (COLOMBIAN CHRISTMAS CUSTARD) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the milk (or more if needed) until cornstarch is well incorporated and you have a smooth mixture. Pour the remaining milk into a heavy saucepan. The cornstarch has a detectable flavor at first, which goes away once the natilla is thoroughly cooked.
• Grate the panela and add it to the milk mixture (or add the brown sugar and molasses).
• Add the baking soda, cinnamon sticks, and salt. Whisk to mix well.
• Heat the milk-sugar mixture over medium-low heat, stirring, and bring just to a boil. Take out the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
• Whisk in the milk-cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken. Stir in the coconut, if using.
• Cook the mixture until has thickened enough that you can see the bottom of the pan for several seconds when you stir (do not let it come all the way to a boil), about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir constantly so that the cornstarch doesn't clump, and the mixture doesn't burn.
• Add raisins and/or nuts if desired, and remove from heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla.
• Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch square glass pan or in any greased mold. Refrigerate until firm.
• Sprinkle natilla generously with powdered sugar. Cut into 3-inch rectangular pieces to serve.

CUSTARD CAKE WITH CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, sift dry ingredients well. Add remaining ingredients except melted butter. Mix until batter is well combined using a whisk. Fold in melted butter and pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 3-inch squares and serve with Caramelized Pineapple.
• In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar. Add vanilla. Fold in diced pineapple and continue to cook until mixture has thickened.

COLOMBIAN PINEAPPLE CUSTARD

Steps:

• Process pineapple in a blender or food processor until pureed.
• Scrape the puree into a pan and add the superfine sugar; cook about 5 minutes until reduced by 1/3 (mixture should be thick, but not as thick as preserves so you can add a little water to thin out).
• Meanwhile, make the caramel by placing the granulated sugar in a heavy pan and cook over medium heat until the edges start to caramelize; shake pan, do not stir.
• Remove from heat once all the sugar has dissolved and the sugar is golden brown.
• Carefully stir in the lime juice (it will sputter and spit).
• Divide the caramel among 6 ramekins and turn them so caramel distributes evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir the eggs into the cooled pineapple mixture; divide egg mixture evenly among the ramekins.
• Place ramekins in a roasting pan and pour warm water into the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins; cover with aluminum foil and bake 45 minutes until set; let cool.
• Invert ramekins onto dessert plates (loosen sides with a knife, then place dessert plate over the ramekin and flip over).

PINEAPPLE & CHERRY SPONGE WITH COCONUT RUM CUSTARD

Steps:

• Line the base of a 1-litre pudding basin with a disc of baking parchment, then oil the parchment. Drain the pineapple and save the juice. Pat the rings dry with kitchen paper, then use them to line the base and sides of the basin, cutting the last couple to fill any gaps. Push a halved cherry in each pineapple hole and any other gaps - you should have some left over.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Boil the kettle. Melt the remaining coconut oil in a pan or the microwave. While it cools, put 140g flour and the sugar into a bowl and stir together. Toss the remaining cherries through 1 tsp flour.
• Pour the coconut oil into the flour mixture along with the eggs, cherries and 2 tbsp pineapple juice. Fold everything together with a spatula and gently scrape into the pudding basin. Cover the pudding with a sheet of baking parchment, then a sheet of foil, with a folded pleat down the centre. Stand in a deep roasting tin on the middle shelf of the oven and pour the kettle-hot water into the tin, to come about half way up the sides of the basin. Bake for 2 hrs 15 mins. Insert a skewer into the centre of the pudding - it will come out clean if it's cooked, but if not, re-cover and return to the oven for 10 mins, then check again.
• To make the custard, pour the coconut milk into a small pan and warm it, but don't let it boil. Whisk the egg, yolk, cornflour, sugar and rum in a jug. Whisk in the warm coconut milk, then pour the liquid through a sieve back into the pan. Return to a low-medium heat and stir constantly until thickened. Stir in the vanilla.
• To serve, carefully turn it out onto a plate, brush the pudding with the warmed golden syrup, then serve hot with the warm coconut custard.

Steps:

• Place eggs, coconut milk, sugar, palm sugar, vanilla and pineapple together in a blender, and puree until smooth.
• Pour mixture into small greased custard bowls and place on a baking sheet with a rim. Pour hot water in baking sheet so the custard bowls have water 1/3 of the way up their sides.
