custards
Creamy egg sweets
Custards is the plural of custard, a creamy dessert or sauce made from eggs, milk or cream, and sugar, cooked until thickened.
The texture ranges from pourable (vanilla custard over bread pudding) to firm enough to slice (baked custard).
Custards form the base for many desserts: crème brûlée, flan, and pastry cream are all custards.
