Directions
- 1
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently.
- 2
In a bowl, lightly beat the whole eggs and egg yolks with a fork until just combined — no need for foam or froth.
- 3
Pour the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream into the boiling milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate.
- 4
Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally without breaking up all the small curds that form, until the mixture thickens to a creamy, spoonable consistency.
- 5
Remove the cloves and cinnamon stick. Pour the custard into a serving bowl or individual glasses.
- 6
Let cool for a few minutes, dust generously with ground cinnamon, and serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra-smooth texture, strain the beaten eggs through a fine-mesh sieve before adding them to the hot milk. Also wonderful served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
