Sometimes when I don’t feel well (illness almost never kills my appetite) I want something warm, creamy, and gentle on my system. Comfort food.
This very easy paleo custard can be mixed up just a few minutes, and then you can go back to bed and rest while it bakes. Or just make it as an anytime dessert–you can be well and enjoy it even more.
Lining the pan with a towel helps insulate the custard from direct heat and prevents it from separating.
