Honey Sweetened Vanilla Custard:


Ingredients for Honey Sweetened Vanilla Custard:

  • 1 cup cream 

  • 3 egg yolks + 1 whole egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 2-3 tbsp honey

  • (sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired)



Directions for Honey Sweetened Vanilla Custard:

  1. Preheat oven to 340F

  2. Place all ingredients in a blender, blend on low until just combined. Try not to blend too long - we don’t want it getting frothy. 

3. Pour equally into small oven-safe cups (depending on the size, it will fill 6-10 cups).

4. Place all of the cups in a baking pan with sides at least 1.5 inches high. 

5. Add water to the pan (careful not to get it in the cups!) to fill about ⅔ of the height of the cups to create a water bath. 

6. Place the baking pan in the oven, bake for 45 minutes or until custard is set and not runny when poked with a toothpick. 


*Note: depending on the size of your cups, you may need to adjust the baking time. If you take it out and it is still runny you can leave the custard cups in the hot water bath to set.

Practical uses:

  • To help relieve headaches (while pregnant or not!)

  • For help sleeping if you typically wake up around 1-3 am

  • To help babies sleep (after you’ve introduced dairy/eggs) - for this one just omit the honey, it’s still great!

  • For a pick-me-up snack in the afternoon when you might crave sugar or caffeine
