This is a simplified version of a family holiday tradition. Never a holiday goes by without this delicious treat, and soooo much easier today. Serve warm or chilled. Try replacing the heavy cream with half-and-half, eggnog, or evaporated milk.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ostkaka turned out dry and crumbly.

The custard was a little too runny for my taste, but the almond cake base was perfect.
