This Classic Vanilla Baked Custard is a beautiful example of simple, comforting desserts. Silky and light, it relies on a gentle water bath (bain-marie) to set perfectly without curdling. A sprinkle of nutmeg on top adds that traditional warm aroma, perfectly balancing the sweet, creamy vanilla custard.
