This is a classic recipe given to me by a friend. It looks very easy. I haven't made it myself, but I've tasted hers and it is fantastic. Also known as vla, this custard can be made with low- or non-fat milk and you can brew the coffee to the desired strength. Read more I haven't converted the measurements so if anyone wants to volunteer their services, I'd be more than grateful. :) See less
