Custard Usage

Serve stirred custard over fruit, dessert or pudding. And, of course, no trifle is complete without a creamy layer of custard. Try using flavoured milk, such as chocolate, in your favourite baked custard or heat the milk with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom or a split vanilla pod before using in a recipe.

For added interest, swirl through crunchy crushed praline, finely chopped, strong espresso coffee or fruit into thick custard. Flavour pastry cream with various liqueurs such as hazelnut, coffee, chocolate and peppermint or fold through finely chopped nuts or dried fruits for a delicious bite.
