Step 3: Pour into Slow Cooker
Carefully pour the custard mixture into the prepared slow cooker. Make sure it spreads evenly to ensure consistent cooking throughout.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Set it to low heat and cook for 2 to 3 hours. The exact time may vary depending on your slow cooker, so start checking at around the 2-hour mark. The custard is ready when it is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
Tip: Avoid stirring during cooking. The gentle, steady heat is what allows the custard to develop its creamy, smooth texture.
Step 5: Cool Slightly
Once the custard is cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let it cool for 15–20 minutes. This makes it easier to serve and enhances the custard’s creamy consistency.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Scoop the custard into bowls and serve as is, or add a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also pair it with fresh fruit, berries, or a drizzle of caramel for an extra touch of indulgence.

If you want, I can also write a version with a fun “snowy presentation” twist to make it look extra special for guests. It would still use just the three ingredients but feel more festive. Do you want me to do that?
