Custard with Fruit Salad

Creamy thick Custard with Fruits salad....Enjoy chilled desert.....Custard brings back so many memories....we used to eat a lot of custard growing up....for summers its the best way to indulge with fresh fruits...or Icecream its just yummy with any combination.

Custard is a variety of culinary preparations based on a cooked mixture of milk or cream and egg yolk. Depending on how much egg or thickener is used, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce  to a thick pastry cream  Most common custards are used as desserts or dessert sauces and typically include sugar and vanilla. Custard bases may also be used for quiches and other savory foods. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin is added as in pastry cream 

Custard is usually cooked in a double boiler  or heated very gently in a saucepan on a stove, though custard can also be steamed, baked in the oven with or without a water bath, or even cooked in a pressure cooker.

Eggless Custard often refers to a dessert sauce thickened from(cornflour) custard powder rather than eggs 

After the custard has thickened, it may be mixed with other ingredients: mixed with stiffly beaten egg whites and gelatin, it is chiboust cream; mixed with whipped cream
