[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Custard Choux Buns

A choux bun is basically similar to the eclair because it is choux pastry.

The Marks and Spencers Custard Choux Buns is filled with deliciously light custard topped with chocolate.

The custard filling is not sweet but dreamy however the chocolate on top was a bit too sweet and killed it for me.
Although it looks visually good with the chocolate, I felt that it wasn't really needed.

I also tried it warm by microwaving it for 30 seconds which resulted in melted chocolate, soft and pillowy choux filled with warm custard.
It strangely tasted nice as the custard came alive and the chocolate same on top worked better.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Custard

Another evil product by Marks and Sparks.
The Marks and Spencers custard was so damn good that I had it straight from the pot cold.

The custard was just good on its own, super thick and creamy tasting like white chocolate and condensed milk in a delicious way.
Sinfully fattening because it is made with whipping cream as to milk.
I believe it is the same custard that you get in MS trifle which you can't get enough of as the cream and jelly gets distracting.
Any how, I don't get how it says low fat on the labeling when it is made with fresh cream.

Also tried the custard hot, where the texture is not so thick but still thick and it still tasted just as good.

[Review] Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Sundae

Tescos has a good range of products but the problem is, you can only find them at the larger stores which makes it difficult if you don't have a car or live near one.
I have always wanted to try the Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Sundae because custard and rhubarb are my favourites.

The sundae definitely fulfilled my expectations especially the custard which was presented in mousse form so it was light and fluffy.
It was quite a fattening dessert but worth trying, the only thing I would like see improved is the rhubarb because it wasn't tart at all.

April 2021: New look and now hand finished.

[Review] Lidl Cherry and Custard Lattice

Tried the Lidl Cherry and Custard Lattice which was quite nice.
The only thing I didn't like the cherry filling which was a bit tart.

[Review] Tesco vs M&S Custard Donut / doughnut

Tried custard donuts from Tesco and Marks and Spencers.
Overall, I liked Marks and Spencers because the custard was not cloyingly sweet with specks of vanilla seeds in it and the taste was creamy.
As for Tesco, the custard let it down as it was too sweet but the custard was visually nicer as it was darker in colour.

[Review] Tesco 4 Egg Custard Tarts

Custard tarts or egg custards tarts are a favourite pastry treat in the UK.

Portugal and France have their versions.

They are just simply delicious because of the short crust pastry, custard egg filling and a dash of nutmeg.

Castello Instant custard - No added sugar

Castello Instant custard comes out a nice colour and consistency but unfortunately it is sweet because it has natural sugars.
I was hoping for a mix that wasn't sweet because I want to add sugars to my desired level of sweetness.
As well as the sweetness, there was this strange strong taste of almond.

Bird's Instant custard

Custard is a must with dessert, especially pies and puddings.
It beats ice cream any day.

Bird's Instant custard works for me because you just boil water from the kettle, stir it with the powder and it is ready to serve.

Casino : Crème-dessert parfum caramel

Got this canned caramel dessert by Casino.
The size was quite big compared to the British canned desserts such as Ambrosia.

Anyway it tasted just like custard with a strong caramel flavour and it was quite sweet as well.
The other flavors were chocolate and vanilla.

 

Treacle sponge pudding and custard straight from the can!

I love treacle pudding, so got the canned one from Heinz and canned Ambrosia custard.

After microwaving it, the pudding was delicious although slightly too sweet.
