Custard and Pudding Recipes

Welcome to my custard and pudding category.

Here you’ll find recipes for still custard (like creme brulee) and stirred custard like orange spiced eggnog and vanilla pudding.

And since custards are defined as dairy-based and thickened with eggs, I also include my cheesecake recipes here, since all cheesecake is technically custard. Check out my double chocolate cheesecake for an example.

You may also enjoy my lemon curd recipe, which is similar to a custard except, instead of dairy, it is fruit juice based.

I also house my panna cotta recipes here. While not strictly a custard, it is still a rich and creamy custard-like dessert. See my chocolate panna cotta and lemon corn panna cotta to get a taste.
