Natilla is a rich, creamy egg custard popular in many Latin American countries. Variations of this smooth, sweetly spicy dessert can be found in Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Costa Rica and Colombia. Natilla is a simple comfort food made with sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. While Natilla is traditionally served around the holidays, it's a welcome addition to any gathering no matter the time of year.
Natilla es un flan cremoso que es ideal para el entretenimiento, ya que se pueda hacer antes de tiempo y se almacenará durante un máximo de dos días. Este pudín dulce y espeso es sin duda un alimento de la comodidad.

Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 large egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons water
- 4 tablespoons corn starch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- Bring milk and cinnamon stick to a boil. Take lemon and remove a two inch strip of lemon zest, add to milk along with salt. Remove from heat and cover with lid or plastic wrap and infuse for 30 minutes.
- Remove lid and return to boil.
- In a separate bowl combine yolks, water, and corn starch and whisk until very well blended. Add vanilla extract and sugar and whisk until well combined.
- When milk boils, pour egg yolk mixture into milk and using a firm whisk stir vigorously until milk boils again and mixture thickens like mayonnaise.
- Remove from heat, remove whisk and cover custard with plastic food film touching custard. Place saucepan in bowl filled with cold water. After a few minutes remove water and replace with fresh cold water and ice cubes. (This will cool custard quickly and prevent bacteria growth).
- Once custard is cool transfer to refrigerator.
- Mix second listed sugar with cinnamon.
- To serve, using a spoon fill glasses or bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Imperial Sugar Insight
Make it day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Natilla will remain excellent for at least 2 days in refrigerator. Use only lemon rind as lemon juice will curdle milk.
