Published on May 24, 2020, custard has been a beloved dessert for many. Its smooth, milky, sweet, and warm flavor makes it a perfect match for pineapple upside-down cake, fruits, or ice cream.
Whether it's a wet rainy day or a hot summer evening, custard is always a comforting treat. Made from scratch or using powder, custard is a good source of energy, protein, and calcium from ingredients like egg yolks, milk, sugar, and vanilla.

The mixture is then added to the egg mixture and returned to heat, whisking until it comes to a boil. Custard can be served hot or cold and is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods.
