Unbelievable taste!!! 2nd to none. Doesn't like to be doubled or tripled from the original recipe, so watch that.

My Granny was British, a great cook (ahhhh! Granny's comfort food!!!), and just an angel on earth. When she passed, I wanted things that reminded me of her. I remembered her making Bird's Custard for me once, after she'd been to the British foods shop and found some. I found it on Amazon and ordered a couple of the smaller tubs. I made it one evening and offered some to my hubby, who doesn't care for too many sweets. He LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this stuff. My small tub disappeared within a week's time. I found the double size tubs and stocked up. My husband will eat this stuff nearly every night. I have some dollar store salt/pepper shakers that I keep nutmeg in... I just put a few shakes of nutmeg on top (like Granny did) and it's perfect. When I want to make a richer pudding, I'll make with some half and half or heavy cream. That's just for special occasions (like PMS!).

I bought this for a specific recipe in a book and I like the flavor so much I've been looking for more ways to use it. The cake I made with it turned out beautifully, as did the cookies. The cookies didn't even last until the next day! The flavor is mild, but very present in baked goods and custard creams.

What's not to love
I use in a couple of recipes and it far surpasses the pudding from Jello. Once you've used Bird's you won't go back.

Same as it always was
I grew up in Switzerland and had an English babysitter who would make Bird's for us.
This is the same stuff, and I have fond memories of my childhood (30+ years ago)... Read more

Great treat!
Make it in a glass bowl in a microwave. You won't want to stop eating it straight or on cakes and pies.

great custard
Leave it to the European's to have an instant custard that not only tastes great but is easy to prepare. I use this in my triffle - so much better than vanilla pudding. Read more

It isn't blanc mange, but isn't bad . . .
I'm not sure that custard is really custard without eggs. But this comes close. I got it for use in a "Vegan pancake" recipe. Read more
