About Custard sauce

Custard sauce, a creamy and versatile dessert accompaniment, is a classic staple in European cuisine, particularly British and French traditions. Made with simple ingredients like egg yolks, sugar, and milk or cream, it is gently cooked to create a smooth, velvety texture. Vanilla is a common flavoring, but variations may include lemon or cinnamon. While custard sauce offers a rich source of calcium and protein from its dairy and eggs, it's also high in sugar and fat, particularly if made with heavy cream. Moderation is key for enjoying this indulgent treat without overloading on calories. Often paired with puddings, cakes, or fruit, custard sauce adds a luxurious touch to desserts, but lighter versions can be made using low-fat dairy to improve its nutritional profile.
