About


 With Thanksgiving just around the corner I wanted to give everyone a new dessert to think about instead of Pumpkin Pie. I found this cute custard recipe that just sounded so simple yet at the same time so elegant, my husband and I did make a few changes to the original recipe that we think made it even more extra special.
