NATILLA COLOMBIANA (COLOMBIAN CHRISTMAS CUSTARD) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the milk (or more if needed) until cornstarch is well incorporated and you have a smooth mixture. Pour the remaining milk into a heavy saucepan. The cornstarch has a detectable flavor at first, which goes away once the natilla is thoroughly cooked.
• Grate the panela and add it to the milk mixture (or add the brown sugar and molasses).
• Add the baking soda, cinnamon sticks, and salt. Whisk to mix well.
• Heat the milk-sugar mixture over medium-low heat, stirring, and bring just to a boil. Take out the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
• Whisk in the milk-cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken. Stir in the coconut, if using.
• Cook the mixture until has thickened enough that you can see the bottom of the pan for several seconds when you stir (do not let it come all the way to a boil), about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir constantly so that the cornstarch doesn't clump, and the mixture doesn't burn.
• Add raisins and/or nuts if desired, and remove from heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla.
• Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch square glass pan or in any greased mold. Refrigerate until firm.
• Sprinkle natilla generously with powdered sugar. Cut into 3-inch rectangular pieces to serve.
