Custard with heavy cream sure is delicious…but it's also high in calories. Plus, heavy cream is a pain to get rid of when there's some left over. So at some point, custard that doesn't use heavy cream became my go-to for dessert-making.

Be sure to add the egg yolk after adding just a bit of the milk (if you add the yolk before that it'll get lumpy). I use a 700 W microwave. Please adjust the cooking time according to your microwave at home. Recipe by Yukiline

I made cream puffs with this. The cream I used here was prepared on the stiff side. Please adjust the stiffness according to what you're making.
