Custard

 

Lashings of custard with your pudding is something of a tradition; most puddings and pies need an accompaniment and custard is an age-old favourite. Custard can do some damage with calories however, major brands have come up with some low fat alternatives. 


Be Good To Yourself Custard

Ready to Serve Custard, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

A sweet and creamy custard. It had a lovely thick consistency and melted in your mouth. If you've got a sweet tooth, this one's for you!

Ambrosian Low Fat Custard

Low Fat Devon Custard, Ambrosia*

Again a thick and creamy custard. It wasn't as sweet as the Be Good to Yourself equivalent - but would be a good accompaniment. If you're not such a sweet tooth try this one.

Bird's Eye Custard

Low Fat Custard, Bird's*

The panel were disappointed to learn that this was a Bird's custard. It was runny with a marzipan-like taste and an artificial after taste. Not recommended/

Conclusion

Both the Ambrosia Devon Custard and Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself were favoured by the panel for their taste and consistency. However, it is worth noting that you can have a larger serving of the Ambrosia one for fewer calories and grams of fat - making this a wiser choice.
