We had some egg yolks left over from making an angel food cake and I didn't want to just throw them out - so I was looking for something easy to make. I love coffee-flavored desserts, so I thought this one would be worth a try.

This was my first time making custard, so I didn't know what to expect. After following the instructions, I found that it was pretty easy to make - even for kitchen-illiterate people like me!

I used 2 percent milk, cinnamon sugar and nutmeg instead of cardamom (didn't have any, about 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 2/3, and skipped out on the butter at the end. I whisked the eggs, sugar, and salt by hand for about 7-10 minutes. I thought it was pretty good for the most part - the coffee flavor came out decently, and the custard was creamy. When i chilled mine overnight, a hard layer formed on top, but I was able to stir it up and it was fine.

Cute dessert to make for company. The whole process took about 30-40 minutes, minus the chilling part.
