This was so good and so easy! I was looking for a version of this recipe that confirmed to me that it could be made low fat and this proved that it could! I used skim milk and 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites and it came out absolutely delicious. Not one person was able to tell it was a lower fat version. My mom even said it was the best baked custard she had ever had. I did however have to bake it about 10 minutes longer, but other than that everything was perfect! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
