I learnt the hard way that you cannot sub agar agar powder for arrowroot powder haha. However I re-did the custard with agar agar and it worked 😍 it tastes a tad floury, not sure if that's the arrowroot taste or I didn't simmer it long enough or something but still like it. Was thinking to add a dash of turmeric to make it yellow like a custard tart 🤔😊
