Health notes
This homemade custard is has less than 10% sugar and surprisingly considering its rich and creamy taste, it contains only 2.1g saturated fat per serving. Perfect to make the Festive Fruity Trifle, to accompany the Sweet Apple and Blackberry Pizza, and also delicious with chopped bananas for a good old fashioned ‘bananas and custard’.
