When is National Chocolate Custard Day?

Wednesday May 3rd

Each year, National Chocolate Custard Day, on May 3rd, is celebrated as a delectable pudding-like dessert enjoyed by many.

Both pastry chefs and home cooks alike make custards by blending eggs with milk or cream and heating the dish either on the stove or in the oven. Since custards come in a variety of forms, you can choose the one that best suits your dessert preference. For example, they range from a thin liquid-like a crème Anglaise to a firm creme brulee.

Custard is also a versatile dessert. Custard can be layered and piped when paired with pastries and baked goods. It can also be the main filling of a pie or a tart. Make a delectable parfait with custard, angel food cake, and custard by subpoena a thick custard between layers of pound cake or crepe a thick custard between layers of pound cake or custard. Make dainty cupcakes with Pipe custard, whipped cream, and sprinkles for flair, or turn Pipe custard into dainty cupcakes.

Although chocolate custards are delectable on their own, they also fill eclairs, creme puffs, and doughnuts.
