I just whipped this up for a tropical trifle for a friend's party tomorrow. I have never made custard before, but this was quite easy and I had all of the ingredients on hand. It hasn't even cooled yet and it already tastes lovely. I plan to add about 3/4 tsp of rum extract to make it rum custard for my tropical theme. Thanks for a great recipe, Bev!
