Strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer and pour in four ramekins (about 6-8 ounce ramekins). Set the ramekins in a 9x13 inch baking pan and place in the oven. Pour hot water in the pan to cover the ramekins half way. Bake 45 to ⏱️ 55 minutes (the custard should jiggle like jello). Carefully remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Remove them from the 9x13 inch pan.

Make the whipped cream by placing your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer fo 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes.Pour the cream into the cold bowl and whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
