Shan - Custard Powder Vanilla is a convenient vanilla-flavored custard mix designed to make smooth, creamy custard quickly and easily. The powder blends into milk to produce a velvety dessert that can be served warm or chilled and used as a sauce, filling or topping for puddings, cakes, trifle and pastries. Its neutral vanilla taste complements fruit, chocolate and baked desserts, making it a versatile pantry staple for everyday treats and special occasions.

To use, heat the required amount of milk with sugar to taste until it is hot but not necessarily boiling. Meanwhile, mix the custard powder with a small amount of cold milk to form a lump-free paste. Gradually add this paste to the hot milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps, then simmer briefly until the mixture thickens to the desired consistency. Remove from heat and either serve warm or cool in the refrigerator; for a richer texture you can substitute part of the milk with cream or reduce the amount of milk for a firmer set.
