Tips:

  • Don't overcook the custard: It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not so thick that it's rubbery.
  • Let the custard cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the custard to set.
  • Serve the custard with your favorite toppings: Fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon are all great options.
