Today I will be sharing my mother’s recipe for Grapenut Custard. This is my favorite dessert even over strawberry shortcake!
Ingredients:
4 eggs
3 C milk
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Grapenuts Cereal
Dash nutmeg
Butter
Whipped cream
Directions:
Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla together
Gradually add milk and blend some more
Pour egg mixture into custard cups
Add a sprinkle or more of Grapenuts Cereal to each cup and they will sink down to the bottom. It they don’t you can mix it up a little until they do.
Put a dash of nutmeg on top of each custard cup before baking
Put a pat of butter on each cup
Place custard cups into a 13 x 9 inch Pyrex dish filled half-way with water or you can use an 8 in glass dish and place into larger dish with water (this keeps the custard from burning.)
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes to one hour until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Let cool before serving and refrigerate until cold
Serve with whipped cream
I cut this recipe in half and used 6 cups but they were not full. You can use 8 cups for this recipe and fill up nearly to top or use a medium glass dish and put it into a large glass dish with water.
Grapenut Custard with a lot of grapenuts because I love them. You may want more custard so cut down on the Grapenuts.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. It’s quick and easy and delicious!
