How to Make a Healthy Custard at Home: A Step-by-Step Guide

Hello, I am Roni.

From childhood, I learned cooking techniques from my mother, who is really a great teacher to me. When I get free time, I spend it cooking. You can say that it is my love to cook.

From my own experience, I will share a healthy custard recipe that I make in my own home. It is really delicious and healthy.

Difference Between Pudding and Custard

Custard means that it depends on egg yolk, sugar, and dairy. Pudding uses milk or cream and sugar. Custard is smoother because of the egg content. Some recipes use eggs in pudding, but they are not essential.

Why Is It Healthy?

Both are healthy, but to make them we have to use healthy ingredients like low-fat and plant-based milk and natural sweeteners.
