About Custard dessert

Custard dessert is a creamy, velvety treat traditionally made from a blend of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs. Originating from European cuisine, particularly France and Britain, custard serves as a base for a variety of desserts like crème brûlée, flan, and pudding. The smooth texture is achieved through gentle cooking to thicken the mixture without curdling the eggs. Nutritionally, custard is rich in protein from the eggs and calcium from the milk, both essential for bone health and muscle function. However, its sugar and fat content can be high, especially when made with heavy cream or additional sweeteners, which may impact calorie-conscious diets. For a lighter option, variations using lower-fat milk and sugar substitutes are increasingly popular. Custard’s versatility and indulgent nature make it a cherished dessert worldwide, whether enjoyed on its own or as a complement to fresh fruits, pastries, or cakes.
