Also ptui ptui ptui I spit between my fingers not to jinx it - mine has never actually curdled or failed to "cust," but I do find that it never thickens until a few minutes after I've started to kvetch and moan and mutter, "I just know it, this stuff is NEVER going to thicken.

I stopped stirring and took it off the heat when I notice that the bottom was just at the point before it would scorch. Its alright and has the consistancy of soft ice cream. I am wondering will it thicken more overnight? The reason I ask is I am putting bits of chocolat in the custard and then using that to fill a cake. Use about 1 teaspoon 4. Did you make this recipe?

If you've tried a few recipes and your custard is still runny, thicken your custard by increasing the stovetop cooking time instead of adding a thickening agent. Follow your recipe stovetop cooking time, right up until the custard starts bubbling. Once your custard starts bubbling, add 1 to 2 minutes of cook time, and stir constantly! Decrease oven cooking temperature. While some custards will need to be cooked longer on the stovetop to thicken to give the ingredients a better chance at binding together , others need to be cooked on a lower oven temperature than what the original recipe calls for.
Check if your original recipe recommends a certain oven temperature for your sea level or for the season you're cooking in. Decrease your oven's temperature and cook your custard until the center is slightly wobbly when nudged.

Flour will work as well, but just use twice as much of it. To make the slurry, mix 4 tablespoons of water or milk with 1 tablespoon of starch or 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth. This amount will work on 1 cup of finished custard, so adjust accordingly. Keep the custard on the heat when you add the slurry.
Mix thoroughly with a whisk and then switch to the spatula to continue cooking. If the line holds, your custard is perfectly cooked. Egg tempering is probably one of the messiest and sometimes scariest things that you can do in your kitchen, but you should not skip it.
