Just made this custard it was so easy and absolutely stunning. I used vanilla extract instead of the vanilla pod. Will be making this custard again soon. Yum! - 03 Oct 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Was so easy to make and very satisfying. The taste is so much better than shop bought custard. Never known the family look so blissed by one of my desserts before! Served this over apple and plum crumble. - 27 Apr 2013 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
I followed the recipe but I came up with a very thick excessively sweet custard. Even the kids found it too sweet to eat. - 09 Dec 2017 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
