The recipe was quick to make and very easy to follow. The custards were lush!! The texture was smooth, creamy & rich. I’d definitely make this again.
The recipe says to place the custard in 4 tea cups and then steam in the varoma. I love the idea of using tea cups for desserts and have served cold desserts in tea cups in the past, but this was the first time I’ve actually “cooked” in them. I was a little hesitant in case the heat cracked the cups, but figured I’d give it a go and if they did break I’d have the perfect excuse to go shopping! No problems though and the 4 tea cups are the perfect size for the varoma tray.
I really liked the method of steaming the custards in the varoma. I often make low-fat custards baked in a low oven using coconut flavoured evaporated milk and stevia and I might borrow this steaming method next time I make these.
