The custard is a fairly simple sweet and very diffuse, it is prepared with egg yolks, milk or cream, and sugar; each culture has a different variation of this dish and even a different name, in Italy is called Crema pasticcera in Spain Is called Natilla, in France is called Crème anglaise… It is not entirely clear the origin of this dish, although one of the most diffuse theories is that it was born in a monastery in central Europe.
The version I present today is much lighter than the classic custard and very original. The consistency of the custard with the fresh taste of ACE makes this dessert unique. It is a perfect choice for both breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
