Crockpot Custard?

[3KillerBs]

Thank you. That's a much more reasonable batch for a family.

Thank you. That's a much more reasonable batch for a family.

seems that you can either do a large batch OR you can make it in the crock pot. you can’t do both though.

if oven space is a concern, just cook it the night before.

I might have to -- though I hate to have to cook on Christmas Eve because we're at church all day and are usually really tired by the time we're home and have had dinner.

I'll have to make 2 batches even of this larger recipe.

it’ll keep 3-4 days in the fridge, so you’ve got some wiggle room.

I'll make a test batch today.

And let us know how it goes, please?

Oh

I'm looking to use eggs by the dozen not the handful.

I want to do custard because my mother is very fond of diner food -- her family having owned a truck stop when she was a teen -- and I want to replicate a memory for her.

Oh I get it! How sweet of you I do like them eggy

It took me until today to do it because of all the business of the season but I've just taken it out of the oven. It looks like a custard, not like a watery, broken mess.

If you try it skip the blender part. And also the lengthy, vigorous whisking.

Use an immersion blender instead. Much better and just the bowl to wash instead of the bowl and the blender both.

Like the kids say nowadays, picture or it didn't happen!

 

[nuthatched]

2 cans sweetened condensed milk
6 oz cream cheese, softened
4 egg yolks+ 6 whole eggs
vanilla, salt
2 1/2 cups milk

can be doubled, works best with a water bath but the low heat of the crock pot shouldn't hurt. 350 for 90 minutes or 3 hours at 175 or whatever the crock pot can do. might be best to butter the crock.
