I would probably try cornstarch--make a slurry with a Tbsp. or 2 of the cornstarch with some cold liquid, then bring the rest of the custard to a low simmer and slowly add the cornstarch mixture until it's thick enough for you (remembering that it will firm up as it cools). Good luck!
Or arrowroot, which I find blends in better than cornstarch - both in texture and leaving no extra taste. https://tastessence.com/arrowroot-vs-cornstarch
