About Custard

Custard is a creamy dessert made primarily from milk or cream, eggs, and sugar, with variations that may include flavorings like vanilla or fruit. Originating in Europe, it has long been a staple in desserts, accompanying pastries and fruit or served on its own. The combination of eggs and milk provides a source of protein and calcium, beneficial for bone health. However, custard is typically high in sugar and can be calorie-dense, especially when made with rich cream. Some recipes may also include additional fats, increasing its saturated fat content. While indulgent, custard can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Lightened versions using low-fat milk and reduced sugar can make it a healthier option while retaining its smooth texture and rich flavor.
