Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a pie plate with butter and dust with flour.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a smooth texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute Pet Milk with whole milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option. If you want to enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of rum. This custard can also be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the egg custard with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Apricot-Banana Sauce for a fruity contrast. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or fresh fruit to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the custard in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through, or enjoy it cold as a refreshing dessert. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as it can alter the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute Pet Milk with whole milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk. Each will give a slightly different flavor and texture, so choose one that fits your dietary needs and flavor preferences.
How do I know when the custard is set?
The custard is set when it has a slight jiggle in the center but is firm around the edges. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. It may still firm up as it cools, so be cautious not to overbake.
Can I make this custard ahead of time?
Absolutely! This custard can be made a day in advance. Let it cool completely before covering and refrigerating. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.
