Simple 3-Ingredient Custard Dessert

Continue to cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of your spoon, which typically takes about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil to avoid curdling.
Chill:
Once thickened, remove the custard from heat. Pour it through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator until it is completely cool, about 2 hours.
Serve:
Serve the chilled custard in dessert bowls. If desired, garnish with chopped nuts or drizzle with caramel sauce for added flavor and decoration.
