We tested the popular TikTok hack, which uses melted ice cream as the base for the custard in this classic dessert. The result is an eggy, baked custard – somewhat sweeter than a traditional crème brûlée. If you’ve got the time, we recommend making the real thing, but this is an easy pudding for one if you’ve got a craving.
