Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325° F. To caramelize sugar: In an 8-inch heavy skillet, cook 1/3 cup sugar over medium-high heat until sugar starts to melt, shaking skillet occasionally to heat sugar evenly. Do not stir. Once sugar starts to melt, reduce heat to low. Cook about 5 minutes or until all of the sugar is melted and golden brown, stirring as needed with a wooden spoon.
- Immediately divide caramelized sugar among four 6-ounce custard cups; tilt cups to coat bottoms evenly. Cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine eggs, yogurt, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla.
- Place custard cups in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Divide egg mixture among custard cups. Place baking pan on oven rack. Pour hottest tap water available into baking pan around custard cups to a depth of about 1/2 inch.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near centers comes out clean. Remove cups from water. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill flans in cups for 4 to 24 hours.
- To unmold flans, loosen edges with a knife, slipping point between flans and sides of custard cups. Invert a dessert plate over each flan; turn over plate and custard cup together. Remove cups from flans. Spoon any caramelized sugar that remains in cups on top of flans.

CUSTARD BUTTERCREAM
Custard buttercream (German buttercream) is a very rich buttercream icing made with the addition of custard. You can change it up by adding different flavors or liquor. This is my basic time-tested recipe for decorating cakes and cupcakes. Makes enough buttercream for one 3 to 4 layer cake or 24 cupcakes.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure to cook the custard base over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, to prevent it from curdling.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the custard base for doneness by dipping a spoon into it and running your finger across the back of the spoon. If the custard coats the back of the spoon and leaves a clean line, it is done.
- Strain the custard base through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps before chilling.
- Chill the custard base for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
- Serve the custard with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of cinnamon.
Conclusion:
Skinny creamy custards are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great way to use up leftover milk or cream, and they can be made with a variety of flavors and toppings. Whether you are looking for a light and refreshing dessert or a rich and decadent treat, there is a skinny creamy custard recipe out there for you. So get creative and experiment with different flavors and toppings to find your favorite combination.
