Guyana Baked Vanilla Custard is easy to make, it is light and not too sweet. It was the perfect ending to our Guyanese meal and figure this is the English influence on the cuisine there. Sometimes Guyana is referred to as the land of six peoples because of the interesting mix of ethnicity that ended up there. All of them influenced their delicious food. Enjoy!
