A basic egg custard is made from this recipe by leaving out the cocoa and adding 2 T of sugar. You can use the basic egg custard to make caramel custard by placing 1 1/2 T of brown sugar in the bottom of each custard cup before adding the custard. When the custard is cooked turn the cup upside down and let the brown sugar sauce ooze down the side of it.
