Custard and pudding recipes (and similar desserts, like parfaits and Eton Mess!) are my go-tos whenever I need to whip up a simple treat. Many custard and pudding recipes are naturally gluten free, and are often easily adapted to be dairy free and vegan as well. The individual portions also make custards and puddings ideal for serving a crowd.
