Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use evaporated milk instead?

How long can I refrigerate the custard?
Yes! You can cover and refrigerate the custard for up to 3 days. Serve it at room temperature or chilled.
Can I freeze the custard?
Not recommended, as custard separates when frozen and thawed.
Is this recipe nut-free?
Yes, unless cross-contaminated with nutmeg. Always check ingredient labels if managing allergies.
