If you want a fancier name, Nancy likes to call this dish "Café au Lait Crema." We also like the ring of cappuccino custard. Whatever you call it, this pudding is bound to bring a smile to any latte lover. Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only. This is a great make ahead recipe since the custard need some time to chill.
