this was definitely good - made it for my grandfather (who can only eat pureed food now) for christmas...of course i tried it too, and I'd make it again to keep carbs down. i did use 2% evaporated milk instead of fat free and I used prepacked egg white, so I didn't even have to beat them, just added them at the end. don't know where other people had problems. thanks for posting

I'm so sorry but this was not something we liked at all. Perhaps the directions for the egg needs to be more clear. I beat the eggs to a loose foam...what exactly is "smooth and lose a bit of their elasticity"? Nothing like a custard to us at all. Had to throw away.

Excellent, I loved this. I only added 1/3 cup of sugar and it was great. This had excellent flavor. Thanks so much for posting.
