Custard for Snow Pudding

This custard sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate. Reheat gently over low heat or in 15-second microwave intervals, whisking smooth before serving warm over pudding.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, whisking frequently, or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until warmed through. Thin with a tablespoon of milk if needed.
