  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Place milk and vanilla extract in a saucepan.
  3. Cook and stir over medium heat until simmering; remove from heat before it comes to a boil.
  4. Whisk eggs, sugar, salt, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
  5. Set the saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.

  7. Allow to cool before chilling. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

How to Store Custard – Allow the custard to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove.

You Freeze Custard up to three months. However, it’s important to note that the texture will likely change during the freezing and thawing process.
