- 2 1/2 donuts (plus 1/2 donut for garnish)
- 2 eggs
- 450 ml milk
- 100 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Thermomix Method: Place 2 1/2 donuts into the Thermomix bowl and blend for 5 seconds at speed 8 until they break down into fine crumbs.
- Add the milk, eggs, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix for 30 seconds at speed 4 to create a smooth base.
- Cook the mixture for 10 minutes at 90°C, speed 4, until the custard develops a silky, thick consistency.
- Pour the custard into serving cups, allow it to cool, then garnish with the remaining half donut.
- Hand Method: Finely chop or blend the donuts until they become soft crumbs.
- In a bowl, whisk together the chopped donuts, milk, eggs, sugar, and cornstarch until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening.
- Once the custard reaches a smooth, slightly thick texture, remove it from the heat and pour into individual cups. Let cool and garnish with donut pieces before serving.
