According to WikiHow, you can use the following tricks to make custard:

• To make the custard more dense, you can add a mixture of cold water and flour while cooking the custard. Proportions for 1 cup of custard: 2 tablespoons of flour and 4 tablespoons of cold water.
• Instead of regular flour, you can use cornstarch. The proportions with water remain the same.
• It is important to cook the custard until it begins to bubble. After that, you need to cook it for another 1-2 minutes. This is to ensure that the cream holds its shape in the confectionery and does not "fall apart".
• During the cooking process, do not forget to constantly stir the custard. It may sound too simple, but it is necessary for the egg yolks to react with the other ingredients. This determines how airy the custard will be.
