Vanilla Custard

By Melissak

The day is finally here.  What day am I talking about?! Friday of course and to sweeten the deal for this weekend we will be having a cold front.  I’m mainly just hoping for rain I can’t even remember the last time it rained in Joburg.

I’m not the biggest fan of dessert, but when those cravings hit you got to try and make something scrumptious for that sweet craving and this is what I came up with.  This is a wonderfully smooth custard like dessert that’s naturally sweetened and just amazing.  Be sure to give it a try.
