Very easy and tasty family style dessert. I made it as is except I Added 2 extra tbsps sugar and 2 Tbsps coffee for mocha flavoured custard. -
Very nice. Made 1 1/2 times the recipe (using 3 eggs) for my family of 5 and we got 5 very generous servings. Not difficult to make at all and such an improvement from a boxed mix.

Mmmmmm!!!! This was the first I ever made custard and it turned out perfect!! It is so delicious! I like it a little sweeter so next time I will add a little more sugar but otherwise it is great!! Will definitely be using this recipe more often. It is very easy to make. No complicated instructions! Just perfect all around! -
Absolutely delicious. I like my chocolate desserts lightly sweet with a prominent cocoa flavor, so this was PERFECT. My kids loved it. Made a double batch. I added an extra egg since I saw an earlier comment mention it had a loose set. My kids, who hate dark chocolate, both ate this eagerly. I added a scoop of chocolate casein powder (a protein powder), because I also like my custards quite stiff. I will keep this recipe for the rest of my life. This became my new, all-time favorite comfort food.

sorry to say this was not good - at all. it did not set up. eventually i just ended up adding in more eggs - so as not to waste the ingredients.

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
