Tips and Tricks

Prevent Overbaking

Remove the custard as soon as it’s set and puffed. Overbaking can make the texture rubbery.

Add Flavor Variations

A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can add extra depth if you want to switch things up.

Ingredient Substitutions

Milk

If you don’t have evaporated milk, use regular milk, but simmer it a little longer for thickness.

Coffee Powder

Any instant coffee can be used if Cafe Vienna isn’t available.

Caramel

If you don’t have caramel topping, try maple syrup for a different but tasty twist.

How to Store

Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Serve cold or let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before eating. This recipe is not freezer-friendly.
