Custard desserts are hug-in-a-bowl-desserts and yes, even just plain old custard gives me that warm fuzzy feeling, especially on a cold winters day!
Custard desserts are nothing new to us, there are so many of them…. think trifle, custard slices, pavlova with custard and those are just the simple ones. Custard also forms the base of ice-creams, mousse, creme bruleé and yes, even the South African Classic Milktart is basically a custard in a pastry case! Custard desserts luckily is not where it stops, custard forms the base of many savory dishes too! Quiches and Souffles are all custard based dishes. The dessert was probably made with the cheapest custard powder, but to me it was layers of thick, luscious custard, cornflakes, apricot jam and a baked meringue topping. It brings back memories of a very happy time in my life – varsity days!!!
