Grapenut Custard in Nanny's Memory

Recipe #218091 | 1½ hours | 20 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Mrs. Hajar Ayaou

My nanny passed away when I was 10 years of age though one of my fondest memories is of her grapenut custard and how it was a staple in her home. If it was not just a visit but a family dinner at her house, it always came out with a dollop of whipped cream on top. I have been making this for years and cannot help but remember my nanny and smile with each bite. I like it best without the whipped cream and cold from the fridge just like it always was a nanny's house. This recipe gives a nice caramelized almost crisp top and a soft velvety interior. c.2007

Ingredients

  • cups low-fat milk (nanny used whole milk)
  • 1 1/2 cups Grape-Nuts cereal
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • tablespoons sugar
  • 4 egg
  • teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt
  • butter (to grease casserole)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Preheat oven to 350.
    2. 2
      Combine the cereal, salt and milk while preparing the remainder.
    3. 3
      Grease with butter a 4qt casserole dish.
    4. 4
      In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup combine the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined and emulsified.
    5. 5
      Pour the cereal and milk mixture into a mixing bowl and add the egg and sugar mixture. Stir well though do not allow to get overly foamy.
    6. 6
      Pour into the greased casserole and bake 60 minutes. This is done when a knife inserted halfway from the edge to the middle comes out clean.
    7. 7
      Do not attempt to overbake, it will appear underdone in the middle. Carry over cooking will handle that. Overcooked and it makes a nice albeit sweet hockey puck!
