This classic custard recipe is the perfect dessert to enjoy year-round. It's silky smooth, perfectly sweet, and much easier to make than you think. Serve it up warm, drizzled over cake or a fruit crisp, or chill it and top with berries. It's up to you!
Custard has a special place in my home. My dad (as a New Zealander) always preferred it warm and drizzled over some sort of cake. While my mom (an American) preferred it chilled and more pudding-like. And that's not surprising, because based on my travels I'd say that many people in the US think of custard as a pudding, while many people in the UK enjoy it served as an accompaniment to another dessert. I'll gladly enjoy custard either way!
