For an extra smooth custard, consider using a whisk with silicone-coated wires to prevent scratching your microwave-safe bowl. Experiment with different extracts! Almond, lemon, or even a touch of rose water can create unique and delightful flavor profiles. If your custard develops any lumps, simply whisk vigorously or pass it through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve a perfectly smooth texture. Be sure to let the custard cool completely before filling your cake or cupcakes, as warm custard can make your frosting melt or become soggy.
