Fluffy Vanilla Custard Floating In Cranberry Kisel
- 1/2 liter whole milk
- 2 eggs cooled and yolks/whites separated
- 1/2 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2/3 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 5 1/2 cups wild cranberries
- 5 1/2 cups sugar
- 100 grams potato starch
- 1 liter water filtered, + 100 ml cold water
- Wash and crush the cranberries.
- Place crushed berries into a saucepan and add sugar.
- Add 1.8 l boiling water to the saucepan.
- Heat until bubbles appear, then bring heat to medium low and keep the mix boiling gently for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, dissolve the starch in 100ml cold water.
- When cranberry mix is ready, pass it through a sieve to get rid of berry skins and return the hot juice into the saucepan. Keep it on medium-low heat and slowly pour in the starch mix. This is the crucial moment: you've got to keep stirring kisel vigorously as you add more starch, in order to avoid lumps.
- After you've added starch, bring kisel to boil.
- Let cool.
- Making the custard
- In a bowl, combine flour and 250ml milk.
- Beat the mix using a fork until it's thin and runny like a crepe batter.
- Beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar and 2/3 tsp vanilla sugar until pale. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring to boil the remaining milk.
- As the milk starts to boil, add in the milk&flour mix while stirring.
- Add in egg yolks&sugar. Keep stirring vigorously to break up large lumps.
- Simmer the custard for a couple of minutes, stirring all of the time, until it thickens. Set aside.
- Add remaining sugar to cooled egg whites and whip them until thick and stiff.
- Use a blender to break up small lumps in the custard, if any.
- When the custard is smooth and creamy, add in the whipped egg whites and stir together gently.
- Leave to cool.
- Fill small bowls with kisel, then gently add scoops of custard.
