Tips:

  • For the smoothest custard, use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps from the custard mixture before baking.
  • Bake the custard cups in a water bath to prevent the custard from curdling.
  • Do not overcook the custard. The custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Allow the custard cups to cool completely before refrigerating. This will help to prevent the custard from cracking.
  • Serve the custard cups chilled. They can be garnished with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
