Notes

๐Ÿ’ก Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water to prevent the eggs from scrambling โ€” do not rush with high heat.
๐Ÿ’ก Make the custard base up to a day ahead and refrigerate, then fold in the whipped cream just before serving for the freshest texture.
๐Ÿ’ก For a lighter no-cook variation, swap the custard base for 1 cup Greek yogurt mixed with 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
