What can I do with a tub of pre-made custard?

I really don’t like it poured on puddings. I know a sane person would whip up a crumble

i do like custard flavour though- set in a trifle, eggy puddings, etc.

anything I can do with it before it goes out of date?

Bread and butter pudding, easy trifle - raspberries set in jelly, custard on top and sprinkles / whipped cream over the top.

I just eat it out the tub, so probably not that helpful to you! Grin

Definitely bread and butter pudding. With croissants and damson jam if you are feeling particularly gluttonous

I'm with gerbil I'm ashamed to say 😂.

If you're more civilized than I am then trifle maybe? Or bread and butter pudding as suggested^^

Yeah, sorry. Like previous posters I have no better idea than 'eat it out of the tub.' Banana custard?

GoldenCagedBird · 03/01/2023 17:37

thanks! Just made an amaretto soaked bread and butter pudding with a leftover loaf that was on the turn

didn’t put 2 and 2 together

My dh has a passion for custard and chopped bananas

Premade custard beaten into mascarpone makes an amazing trifle or 'tiramisu-ish' topping.

Eat with a spoon, straight from the fridge.

Drink it. Yum.

DPotter · 03/01/2023 19:35

custard and cornflakes - yum!

One layer of plain biscuits, one layer of custard, one layer of grated chocolate. Repeat. Leave in fridge for a few hours.

You can mix the custard with some whipped cream, but I generally don't bother.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 03/01/2023 19:39

Oh, sliced bananas might be a nice addition as well.

It's too late for you now, OP, but should you ever find yourself with surplus custard again, you might like to try making a River Cottage "fumble" - basically just fruit fool crossed with crumble. There's a recipe here. The "independent crumble" is really delicious - in fact, I can't stop eating it straight off the baking tray Blush - and the stewed fruit (I used some rhubarb from the freezer) allows you to pretend that you're being healthy Grin
