Method
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk and 1/2 cup of brown sugar over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 4 room temperature eggs, then slowly temper them with the warm milk mixture. Pour all back into the saucepan, cooking for 5-7 minutes while stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract. Let this creamy custard cool completely.
Assembly
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/4-inch thick.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles, about 3 inches in diameter. Place a teaspoon of the cooled vanilla custard in the center of each circle.
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges tightly to create little parcels.
Baking
- Arrange the filled cream bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Cooling and Serving
- Once baked, remove the cream bombs with vanilla custard from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Enjoy them warm, or chill in the fridge for a refreshing dessert option.
Notes
Seal the dough tightly around the custard to prevent leaks during baking. For the best taste, avoid overfilling your cream bombs.
