How to Know When Custard Is Properly Set

This method is used in our Fiji Custard Pie Recipe (Island-Style, Authentic) to ensure clean slicing.

Custard is ready when it coats the spoon and holds its shape briefly before settling.

Key Tips

• Spoon test: custard should not drip quickly
• Surface should look glossy, not watery
• Custard thickens more as it cools

Common Mistakes

• Removing from heat too early
• Expecting final thickness while hot

This method ensures custard that sets cleanly and slices well.
