Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use evaporated milk instead?
No—sweetened condensed milk provides both sweetness and richness. Evaporated milk is unsweetened and will result in a bland, thin custard.
Why do I need a water bath?
It insulates the custard, preventing curdling and ensuring a smooth, velvety texture.
Can I make it ahead?
Yes! Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature or serve chilled.
Can I freeze it?
Not recommended—custard separates when frozen and thawed.
