Notes
For maximum taste, this custard is best served right away – don’t leave it in the fridge to cool too long.
To make individual serving, simply dish out the mixture in ramekins, and slightly reduce the cooking time.
If you're looking for a dairy-free alternative, simply replace the yoghurt with coconut milk.
Also, a great low-fructose substitute is to use rice malt syrup as your sweetener.
