Add the milk and cream slowly, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling.
Flavor the custard with your favorite ingredients. Some popular flavorings include vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cocoa powder.
Bake the custard in a water bath. This will help to create a smooth, creamy custard.
Chill the custard before serving. This will help to firm it up and make it easier to slice.
