Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Use a medium heat when cooking the custard to prevent curdling or scorching. Stir constantly for a smooth texture.
  • Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps before pouring into ramekins.
  • Place the ramekins in a baking dish filled with hot water to create a water bath. This helps the custards cook evenly and prevents them from curdling.
  • Bake the custards until the edges are set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, as this will result in a rubbery texture.
  • Allow the custards to cool completely before refrigerating. This helps them set properly.
  • Serve the custards chilled, garnished with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
