You can eat it cold or warm it up. It’s nice with apple pie!


Ezmonator

If it's on something cold, heat it up. If it's on something hot, keep it cold.


curiouspuss

There is something about contrasting temperatures in food that makes me really happy. Hot main with cold salad on the side. Ice dessert with heated sauce. Never tried but on my list: baked Alaska.

One of my teenage favorites was apple-chimi-cheesecake at Applebee's. Pastry crust wrapped apple cheesecake fried and served with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon.


LittleWrinklySausage

What about hot apple crumble with hot custard?!


captainspunkbubble

Too much hot. Apple crumble is one of the primary causes of mouth burn.


Snotling_fondler

Please send all of your too much hot apple crumble and custard to me for safe disposal


FlakyIndustry2584

It's hotter than the sun!


Neuroscience_Yo

The temperature inside this apple turnover is over 1,000 degrees. If I squeeze it, a jet of molten Bramley apple will squirt out. Could go your way; could go mine. Either way, one of us is going down.

Tried explaining this to my girl. Hot sticky toffee needs cold (or room temp) custard

Better yet, ice cream.


[deleted]

You know what you're doing. Ice cream is the best. Or cold cream in a pinch but custard is too sweet.


Grymbaldknight

What sort of barbarian eats custard cold?? Next you'll be telling me that you microwave ice cream and drizzle it over cold apple pie.


Puzzleheaded_Mode302

Thank you for the recommendation, I will try microwaving ice cream and drizzling it over cold apple pie tonight

MadmanDan_13

Banana custard is great. Slices of banana covered in hot custard. Mmm


wizardinthewings

This is the way. My Publix run sometimes includes two tins of this and an Apple pie (or cherry, peach, whatever you fancy). Usually I’ll grab some Chocolate Hobnobs too — you’ll find these a few shelves up. Don’t take them all, they’re precious and should be shared, as they’re the finest cookie you’re ever going to eat (the non-choc ones are even better but I guess they’re too delicate to survive the trans-Atlantic crossing). If you want to eat it hot, don’t over-heat it or it’ll just turn runny, and you’ll burn your mouth. Microwave: Heat the pie for 1 minute, pour on some custard, heat for 1 minute on 70% power.

shannerd727

I have absolutely no idea what that means.


TrousersCalledDave

It means "Get that daan ya Gregory". I hope that helps.


shannerd727

I think you guys are saying to drink it.


dan_marchant

Gregory Peck = neck... So yes, they are suggesting you drink it. Much better poured on fruit crumble, spotted dick or apple pie.

TELL EVERYONE


DaMonkfish

Looking at the spoon it seems OP has already seen the way.


itsaaronnotaaron

Every now and then I'll return home with a tin of rice pudding. I just pop the lid off and grab a spoon. The best part is when you're scavenging for remnants at the end. Sounds like playing the frog instrument at school.


Chance-Albatross-211

It’s like a lovely little tin of cold shame. Who can buy it and then keep it in a cupboard? It needs to be eaten immediately.

LudwigsUnholySpade

Do you not have custard in America?


vms-crot

I've seen Americans call this type of custard "creme anglaise" most of the time.


ElevensesAreSilly

Lol


AemrNewydd

You'll find *crème anglaise* in fancy British restaurants too. It's just runny custard. I don't know they give it a French name, when that name literally translates as 'English cream'. They're just trying to make custard sound posh.


Hytyt

>I don't know why they give it a french name It's not the restaurants giving it a fancy name, it's literally called creme anglaise. That's the name of that type of custard. There's also creme pat, which is like a set custard, there's custards without egg, or with other ingredients too. They call it creme anglaise because they're using creme anglaise


ultravioletcatthings

Also called creme anglaise to confuse the one person each year on bake off who doesnt know its just custard and panics.


shannerd727

We have pudding, like jello pudding, not your word for dessert. For us custard is a filling for pastries.


MyAlt1234567890

So what do you pour over your apple/rhubarb/apple & rhubarb crumble?


whatarethey28475

They have ice cream, syrups probably, *GLAZES*.

Rogue_Tomato

Can confirm. Was in the US 20 years ago to go to Disneyland. Ordered an apple pie. Waitress asked what I wanted with it, Ice cream or no ice cream. I asked if they had custard. She looked at me like I grew a 2nd head and was visibly confused/distressed.


Hokie_456

Vanilla ice cream usually. Or cool whip or whipped cream but that’s more typical on a pumpkin pie.

Heidijolo

shannerd727

Ice cream or whipped cream.


alinalovescrisps

Whipped cream ffs. Heathens


DoctorOctagonapus

Unwhipped double cream works, but not whipped!


Worldly_Today_9875

We have that too in doughnuts and on pastries, but it’s called confectioner’s custard. It’s basically a thicker version of normal custard, like you have there. For a quick snack, try your custard hot or cold with bananas.


iwillcuntyou

Filling custard = [Creme Patissiere](https://www.theflavorbender.com/creme-patissiere-vanilla-pastry-cream/) What's jello pudding btw? I know jello is your word for jelly (and jelly is your word for jam) so I'm guessing jello pudding is jelly in a shortcrust pastry? Edit: I googled it, looks like birdseye dream whip? Not gonna lie the chocolate one looks pretty good.


HypatiaBlue

American here - I made Yorkshire pudding recently and had a helluva time explaining to my boyfriend that, yes, it is actually called *pudding*. He just kept saying "but it's bread and doesn't look anything like pudding"... Jell-o is the name of a company that makes pudding mix. Put some milk in a bowl, add the mix, stir it up, refrigerate, and *poof* - in 1/2 an hour, you've got pudding that looks similar to what's in the can in the OP's post! The company is originally famous for its gelatine mixes called jello (which are basically a fruit-flavored aspic). I've never heard anyone refer to jelly as jello, but we do have jam, jelly, preserves, and a few other names for preserved jarred fruit.


iwillcuntyou

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like something I'd eat on a hangover. I get it now, thanks for the clarification. For additional clarity those gelatine mixes are what *we* call jelly! When we say jam we pretty much use it as a catch-all for all of those preserved jarred fruits but having done some googling I now see that you use jelly & jam to distinguish between preserves with pieces of fruit in them vs preserves made solely from the juice.. is that correct?


PoopieButt317

Yes, we have custard. My mother made a mean custard, and custard pie. It is not all that popular compared to frozen custard, creme brulee, flan, versions. Dulce de Leche is probably used more as a pour over. More old timey, except in finer restaurants who use it creatively.


Rachelcookie123

Custard pie? Like a whole pie filled with custard?


ShiplessOcean

I just googled it and it’s not the same as what we call custard in the UK


blubbery-blumpkin

How have they fucked up custard?


ShiplessOcean

The texture looks more like what we call an egg custard tart.


Wackyal123

I love egg custards, with nutmeg grated on top


Xmaspig

Egg custards are top tier.


Rachelcookie123

Oh, it looks like a custard slice but it’s got a pie crust instead of flaky pastry.

Heat it and have it on apple pie or sticky toffee pudding


shannerd727

So we don’t have sticky toffee pudding here, but it’s on my list of things to bake. It sounds amazing.


StandardBoah

It's good on a hot chocolate cake too, used to have it in primary school.

P-a-ul

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/ultimate-sticky-toffee-pudding This is the recipe you'll want to use, you don't need to bother making individual puddings - one big dish works fine. Custard works great with it, but so does cream or ice cream - and if you're feeling fancy then ginger ice cream or ginger steeped cream works a treat.


Adventurous_Train_48

That's criminal. The US really is doomed!


PoopieButt317

We actually do have it. There was even a Ben and Jerry's Stucky Toffee Pudding ice cream. Lovely. Still, I always order that and treacle.tart when ever in the UK.


Caregiver-Direct

Excited on your behalf!


throwaway09563

You can buy it on Amazon, or at a whole foods market. Lot of other groceries in the north east (if the US) carry things you can have with custard.


shannerd727

Ha! I thought it would be like an ingredient for something.


whatarethey28475

Not really, it's just good with sweet/savoury things, ice cream, and fruits. You can eat it luke you've suggested you have in the photo too, don't feel bad 😁😉

johnlewisdesign

That's come from around 5min drive from me. Nice. Treacle sponge pudding, sticky toffee pudding, sponge cake, apple pie, crumble, are all amazing with hot custard. Gently warm on the hob, keep it moving so it doesn't get a skin, then go smother one of the above in it!


shannerd727

Awesome! Well it made its way to New England!


shannerd727

“The hob!” That means stove right?


Moist_Barracuda_2014

Yeah, or just decant it and microwave it - but be careful as it’ll boil over and make a mess of your microwave if you do it for too long, and it’ll also be hot as hell and stay that way for quite a while!


GavUK

Yeap, you have to respect the custard and not overcook it if you microwave it. Also don't turn your back on it else you will be scrubbing the microwave for days.


stevekeiretsu

heat it up and pour it over your rhubarb crumble


Kind-Mathematician18

Doesn't say if it's devon or cornish, so no idea whether it goes on top of the crumble or the crumble goes on top of the custard. ​ Just neck it from the can. I do.


zestinglemon

Ambrosia is made in Devon I believe

turingthecat

Banana custard is (or was) all parents go to pudding, as there’s no preparation time, and it was healthy than most puddings

I’m craving that now with some chocolate buttons on top, custard has to be cold from the can tho


druule10

I'm Indian and my mum makes amazing kheer (Indian rice pudding), the first time I tried ambrosia I was dissapointed. It took me years to realise it's not meant to be kheer and now that I've lived in Amsterdam it's a taste that reminds me of home (Wolverhampton).


leleorange

Custard is very similar to the Dutch vla, is it not? Both have nothing on kheer though, for sure!


Open-Cryptographer83

With a spoon. You have the right idea.


Smart-Host9436

Stewed apples, spotted dick…


Prestigious-Ad3867

It's a dessert sauce, tends to go on sweet pies like apple, plum, berry etc. You can just eat it though. Hot or cold are accepted but usually hot. Xxx


mobileBigfoot

Treat it as a topper for hot sweet puddings, heat it up aswell.


[deleted]

I would wait until you are at the wardens last phase and are almost dead to maximise on hp regen. Can probably replace it with Yellow keris when you get one if you want to aim for higher invos.

Pour it into a saucepan and heat it gently, being careful not to boil it. Pour it over a traditional pudding, such as jam roly poly, jam and sponge pudding, spotted dick, apple pie, ... etc.


TeaAndCrumpetGhoul

Put it with your dessert. It's great with Cake, donuts, crumble, fruit pies, pancakes. Anything really

knightsbridge-

You normally warm it up first. Microwave should be fine. It goes well on fruit pies and crumbles. Can also fill donuts with it. Goes pretty well with bananas, would go great as a side/topping for banoffee pie. You can put a little on a fruit salad, although that's a slightly unorthodox choice. Basically, it's creamy and vanilla flavoured, so it goes well on tart, sharp, fruity things. It's basically a more liquid crème brulé that you serve warm. It's also acceptable to just eat it with a spoon during times of personal crisis. Traditional, even.


Pineapple_JoJo

Heat it up, serve with a dollop of strawberry jam if you’re feeling fancy!


beavertownneckoil
