This is a fancy custard recipe for a special occasion, or to start off the new year right. There's healthy ginger, wholesome ingredients, and for those who care, you'll notice that there is only 1/3 cup sugar for the entire custard, so even less per serving.

Wishing you a
Happy, Healthy and Prosperous
New Year 2010!!
