Recipes Global Cuisines Latin American Caribbean Puerto Rican Breakfast Custard 4.7 (103) 82 Reviews 23 Photos This Puerto Rican breakfast custard recipe yields a unique Spanish breakfast custard. My Puerto Rican father loved it as a child, and my mother made it for us as we grew up. Whisking the custard for 25 minutes takes patience, but the results are delicious and warm on a cold winter morning.
