Ingredients

Directions

  1. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a bowl and the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
  2. Place butter and egg yolks in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
  3. Stir until the butter is melted and combined with the yolks.
  4. Add flour and sugar to the butter-yolk mixture and stir until well blended and smooth.
  5. Gradually stir in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a thin custard consistency, about 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and allow the custard base to cool completely to room temperature.
  8. While the custard cools, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  10. Once the custard is cool, stir in the vanilla extract.
  11. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the custard to lighten it.
  12. Fold in the beaten egg whites until just combined.
  13. Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated and airy.
  14. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  15. Just before serving, top with a light sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg.
