This Amish Baked Custard is a classic, simple dessert prized for its silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture and gentle sweetness. Unlike many modern custards that use heavy cream, this traditional version relies on sweetened condensed milk and a careful tempering method to create a light, airy consistency. Finished with a sprinkle of nutmeg, it’s comforting served warm from the oven or chilled for a cool treat.
