I wasn't sure how these custards would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were creamy, pumpkin-y, and just the right amount of sweet. I will definitely be making them again.

These custards were delicious, but they were a bit too labor-intensive for me. I think I'll stick to buying them pre-made from the store.

I had some trouble getting the custards to set properly. I think I might have overcooked them. They were still tasty, but they were a bit too runny.

These custards were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make them.
