How to serve
Serve the custard in individual bowls or glasses, topped with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp biscuit or a light sponge cake on the side. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within two days for the best taste and texture. Avoid freezing, as the custard may separate when thawed.
