Tubby Custard is a whimsical and iconic dessert that originated from the beloved children's television show, Teletubbies. It's a creamy and sweet custard with a vibrant pink color, making it instantly recognizable and appealing to both kids and the young at heart.
The milk should be simmering in a large saucepan, while the cornstarch, sugar, pinch of salt, and vanilla should be whisked together.
In a separate bowl, combine the starch and sugar mixture with the warm milk mixture. If you want to add some food coloring, now is the time.
Then, whip the mixture well with a whisk and scrape the saucepan well. We need to clean the entire saucepan since we will reuse it. When mixing, you should use a wooden spatula.
The custard mixture should be reheated on medium heat once the pan is returned to the stove.
To thicken the custard, stir gently with a wooden spatula. Make sure the pan does not have lumps. Upon smoothing, it will appear velvety. Served warm or cold, it can be enjoyed by all.
