From the Test Kitchen

Every week we're bringing you a selection of Add-ons––a mix of our favorite appetizers, sides, and desserts that you can add to your box and fill out your table. This rich, creamy custard gets it sweet, nutty flavor from a duo of coconut milk and semi-sweet chocolate—slowly mixed with eggs to develop its deliciously light, pudding-like texture.
