Bake Mode is particularly well suited for baking custards, as it prevents overbrowning. Elevate the final presentation of this dessert with a sprig of mint and sprinkling of seasonal berries.

BEFORE YOU START: A hot water bath, or bain-marie, is necessary for custards - it prevents cracking and drying out and regulates temperature during baking.
