FAQ
Q: Can I use canned peaches for this recipe?
A: Fresh peaches are recommended for the best flavor and texture, but you can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to drain them well before using.

Q: How can I make the custard thicker?
A: If your custard doesn’t thicken enough, you can cook it for a few more minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Alternatively, you can add a little more cornstarch during the initial steps, but make sure to whisk it in well.

Q: Can I make the custard filling ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can make the custard up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
