Custard is a range of preparations based on milk and eggs, thickened with heat. Most commonly, custard refers to a dessert or dessert sauce, but custard bases are also used for quiches and other savoury foods. As a dessert, it is made from a combination of milk or cream, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin are also added. Custard is usually cooked in a double boiler (bain-marie) or heated very gently on the stove in a saucepan, though custard can also be steamed, baked in the oven with or without a hot water bath, or even cooked in a pressure cooker. The trick to getting custard instead of sweetened eggs is to add heated milk to the eggs, not to add eggs directly into the pan on the stove. Cooking until it is set without cooking it so much that it curdles is a delicate operation, because only 5-10°F (3-5°C) separate the two. A water bath slows heat transfer and makes it easier to remove the custard from the oven before it curdles.[1] Depending on how much egg or thickener is used, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce (crème anglaise), to a thick blancmange like that used for vanilla slice or the pastry cream used to fill éclairs. Custard is an important part of dessert recipes from many countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Lebanon, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Paraguay.

2. Why is it that old Flames still have the X Factor?
September 25, 2008
Ask any single man what he fantasizes about and he'll make up something about a celebrity. It's easier than the truth. I'd probably tell you mine includes a pool full of custard and all three Charlie's Angels. But in truth, the best male 'mind movies' star an ex. I know mine do.
But why would an ex be that appealing? The last time you saw her, she was crying rivers of mascara, the way an octopus leaks black ink when it's pissed off. Yet, in happier days, your sex life was like a Strictly Come Dancing final: two misfits performing a perfect routine - with massive grins at the end. Unforget... (read more)

This ice cream is wonderfully rich and chocolately, as it contains both cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate and its silky smooth texture comes from using a custard base.

8. Tiramisu Cups

Then I thought that they will look great and taste even better in little chocolate cups! Each cup is layered with coffee-liqueur infused sponge fingers and mascarpone custard, topped with a dusting of cocoa. It is then finished with white chocolate curls and chilled till serving time. They are perfect for special dinner parties and make very elegant-looking and delicious desserts. When I first served my Tiramisu, my husband meticulously ate the filling in th... (read more)

9. Mom's Christmas Custard
October 18, 2006
My involvement with food began at an early age. Eating to survive was a given, but my mother gave new meaning to the word "delicious" during the holiday season. This is when she would cook cookies, cakes and pies for Christmas celebrations. My favorite though was her boiled custard and red velvet cake! There was a silent contest each year between my mother and my Aunt Helen as to who had the best tasting boiled custard. None of us would declare a winner for fear the loser wouldn't make the dessert next year. The contest was always a draw.
Mom felt it was her duty to make this year's... (read more)
