Custard is a cooked mixture of milk or cream and sugar, often seasoned with vanilla. Custard bases are used as a dessert or a savory dish.
The word custard has French origins and is derived from the Latin word “custare”, meaning “to weigh down”.
Custard is normally a mixture of egg yolk, sugar and milk or cream, but can also include other ingredients such as flour. In most cases, the egg yolks are beaten with the sugar until thick and ribbons form when the whisk is lifted. The mixture is then heated in a double boiler until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. It can be served warm or cold depending on which flavor profile is desired.
A custard base may be used for many different desserts including tarts, flans and quiches. Some popular custard recipes include lemon meringue pie, bread pudding and creme brulee (also known as burnt cream).
Custard is a thick, rich, creamy dessert sauce that is made from milk or cream and eggs. It can be cooked on the stovetop in a saucepan or baked in an ovenproof dish, and it takes on a variety of flavors depending on what kind of milk and flavoring ingredients you use. The custard is cooked slowly over low heat (or in the oven) to prevent curdling.
The word “custard” comes from the French word “croustade,” which means crust. The English word “custard” first appeared in print in 1551 and was used to describe a dish similar to modern day flan.

Now add your choice of fruit to the bowl along with any juices from canned fruit or water from stewed fresh fruit (if using dried fruit then make sure you re-hydrate them first). Stir everything together gently but

Fruit custard is a dessert dish made with custard, fruit, and sugar. It is often eaten cold or at room temperature. Fruit custard can be served in many different ways. For example, it can be served on its own as a sweet desert, or be used as an ingredient in other dishes such as pies, tarts and cakes.
Fruit custards are made by boiling milk and sugar together until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. The mixture is then strained through cheesecloth to remove any lumps or impurities from the milk. Eggs are beaten into this mixture until they become light and frothy before being poured into ramekins or small baking dishes that have been greased with butter and dusted with flour to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan when cooking in the oven. Fruit is then added to each individual bowl of custard before it’s baked in the oven for about 15 minutes or until it has set but still retains some jiggle when shaken gently by hand so that no liquid remains under the surface of each piece of fruit when removed from its baking dish after cooking time has elapsed.
