NATILLA COLOMBIANA (COLOMBIAN CHRISTMAS CUSTARD) RECIPE



Natilla Colombiana (Colombian Christmas Custard) Recipe image

Natilla is like a cross between flan and dulce de leche. It is thick enough to be cut into squares, but it has a pudding-like texture.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups whole milk
8 ounces panela (or 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar, plus 1 tablespoon molasses)
2 to 3 cloves
3 to 4 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
Optional: 1 cup coconut (frozen or fresh, shredded)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Optional: 3/4 cup chopped nuts and/or 1/2 cup raisins

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.

NATILLA

I love serving custards for dessert, and I definitely plan on serving this recipe again! The custard is super creamy and the spices are just right. Your friends and family will love this one!

Categories     Puddings

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c milk (i like to use half and half for richness)
1 c sugar divided
the zest of one lemon
1/2 stick cinnamon
6 egg yolks
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
ground cinnamon
8 goya maria cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Simmer 3 cups milk with ½ cup sugar, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick.
  • 2. Meanwhile whisk yolks with ½ cup sugar.
  • 3. After milk simmers, remove from heat, then add in the remaining cup of milk to cool pot down a bit, then add milk 1 ladle at a time to temper egg yolks. Then pour this back in pan and stir. Add vanilla. Stir water into cornstarch and add to mixture. *See NOTE
  • 4. Turn heat up to medium and cook till Natilla is thick stirring constantly.
  • 5. Remove cinnamon stick and pour into serving dishes. Sprinkle with group cinnamon. Place one cookie on top of each pudding. Refrigerate till cold at least 2 hours.
  • 6. NOTE:I have an electric stove so I put my half and half and half with the additions on the lowest setting and let it start heating up. In the meantime I stir the sugar and egg yolks together and I go ahead and mix the water and the cornstarch together. Once that is done, I go back to the half and half mixture and I turn it up a couple of notches and then I start stirring immediately and I heat the mixture till it is steaming but not boiling, (my mother would call this scalding the milk) then I add in the cold milk. Now here again at this stage, the chefs on TV will add a scoop or tow of milk and call it good. However, they have never cooked anything for me so I cannot vouch for their abilities but my mama was a great cook and she always said: to temper your milk slowly add in a ladle full of milk at a time while stirring your eggs well until you have ladled about half your scalded milk into the eggs. Then slowly whisk it back into your milk mixture. So I follow my mother's instructions and I have never scrambled the eggs or had to strain them after.

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 large pasteurized egg whites

  • Combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium over medium-high heat; gradually add remaining 1 3/4 cups milk, whisking constantly. Stir in whipping cream.
  • Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; add seeds and bean to the milk mixture. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove from heat.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe, juicy pineapple. Look for pineapples with a golden yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Use a blender or food processor: To make the pineapple puree, you can use either a blender or a food processor. If using a blender, be sure to blend the pineapple until it is completely smooth, with no chunks remaining.
  • Cook the custard slowly and gently: When cooking the custard, be sure to do so over low heat and stir it constantly. This will prevent the custard from curdling or scorching.
  • Let the custard cool before refrigerating: Once the custard is cooked, allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. This will help to prevent the custard from developing a skin on top.
  • Serve the custard chilled: For the best flavor, serve the custard chilled. You can either chill it for a few hours in the refrigerator or overnight.

Conclusion:

Pineapple custard is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and sweet and tangy flavor, pineapple custard is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
