Custard powder is a popular dessert ingredient primarily used to create smooth and creamy custards. Originating in Britain, it is a convenience product that typically contains cornstarch, coloring agents, flavoring such as vanilla, and occasionally sugar. Designed as an egg-free alternative to traditional custard, it is favored for its ease of preparation—requiring only milk and heat to form a luscious, dessert base. Nutritionally, custard powder is low in fat and cholesterol-free due to the absence of eggs, making it suitable for certain dietary preferences. However, it is high in carbohydrates and may contain added sugars or artificial colors, depending on the brand. While not nutritionally dense, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Often paired with puddings, cakes, or fruit, it remains a staple ingredient in many cuisines for creating comforting, sweet delights.
