Custard is a sweet, creamy dish made from a mixture of milk or cream, sugar, and eggs that is thickened by heating. It can be served as a dessert on its own, used as a filling for pastries, or as a sauce for other desserts. There are various types of custard, including baked custard, stirred custard, and dessert sauces such as crème anglaise. The texture can range from smooth and pourable to thick and creamy, depending on the cooking method and the ratio of ingredients.
