This was very good. I made it a second time with 1/2 cup of Heavy Cream and 1/2 cups of Whole Milk. Much richer...very, very good. Great filling for Boston Cream Pie.

Fantastic! Creamy and sweet. I balked at 1 tbsp vanilla, but it's fantastic. I bet you could use heavy cream in place of milk or some combination of the two. Mmmm. I made this a second time because I had tons of leftover egg yolks from the Heavenly Angel Food Cake recipe on this site so I made double this recipe and tried different flavors. 1 tsp cocoa powder per cup of custard was the best flavor combination I found; banana and almond extract added in was just okay. I don't care much for how long it takes to thicken - 30 min for me and a lot of stirring - but anyways thanks for a great recipe!

I used half the amount of sugar listed and half the vanilla. (seemed like a lot to me...) I think the flour gave this pudding a slightly starchy taste, so I'm going to try using half the amount of cornstarch next time.

My first batch took forever in the double boiler and wasn't going to be big enough to fill my pie shell. The second time around I doubled the recipe, added 2 tsp cornstarch to the flour and cooked it in the saucepan, without the double boiler. It thickened very very fast and turned out great! I used a whisk while stirring to keep it from clumping.

Loved it, reduced the sugar like sugessted, lowered the vanilla to 1 teaspoon and cooked it over direct fire so that it would thicken quicker, really nice, will add bananas or other types of fruits next them

This is a wonderful filling! It tastes just like pudding and is very easy to make! The only thing that I changed was that I only mixed the milk with the other mixture about halfway and then poured the whole thing into the sauce pan I was already using. I used a whisk and mixed it well, continuing to do so on a very low heat until properly thickened. I then finished the recipe as stated. I used this in empanadas and it was awesome! I'll definitely use it again!

I was looking for an easy recipe to use as a custard for chocolate tarts. This was incredibly easy and delicious. I did not use a double boiler, just heated it on the stove at a medium temperature. I added about a teaspoon of lemon juice to add a little dimension to the flavor. Perfect!

I made this and added 1/4 cup Kahlua, and served it in small chocolate shells with sliced strawberries on top. Rave reviews; everyone loved it. :)

Maybe it was the brand of vanilla I used but after I added it, the cream lost it soft yellow color and I could taste the vanilla a little to much for my taste. Other than that, it was very good, fast, and easy.

We made this for the first time last night and multiplied the recipie X 4 for 2 strawberry pies. I used a little less sugar than called for and the sweetness was very good. I also added a little lemon extract in addition to the vanillia to bring out the flavor of the berries. I must not have cooked it quite long enough since the custard came out a bit runny for a pie. I will try it again and cook until a bit more solid. Thanks.

it was an easy recipe, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll try with 1/3 cup of sugar. I also didn't use the double boiler, but just put the contents back in the sauce pan and heated it on low heat instead.

I made this as just a custard to eat. It was a little thick for that but it was just what we had been wanting in flavor. It was wonderful

Quel délice!!! Je cherchais depuis longtemps une recette de crème qui se marie bien avec des fruits. Facile à faire et rapide, j'ai du faire 2 tartes dans la même semaine... mon père l'a adoré ainsi que toute la famille... avec des fruits frais, c'est parfait! Great!!! I was searching for a cream recipe that is good, easy and quick to combine with fruits. I had to make this recipe twice in the same week because of my father... he likes it and all the family... With fresh fruits, it's perfect !
