MY BELOVED Swiss mother-in-law gave me this recipe years ago. It's quick and easy to prepare and, as she was so frugal, easy on the pocketbook! I've served this delicious dessert to groups, but it's best served individually. -Laura Mae Peterson Salem, Oregon

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custard didn't turn out smooth. It was more like a scrambled egg.
