Advantages: Tastes yummy hot or cold

Disadvantages: None

I have just reviewed by favourite pudding which is Heinz Chocolate Sponge Pudding, but with every good pudding you need a good custard to put on top of it. The only custard I have ever bought and used is Ambrosia Devon Custard.

In fact I can't ever see myself using anything different, maybe it is because I have childhood memories of that horrible lumpy custard you used to get at school or my mum attempting to make custard from powder. Either way I like custard to be straight out of a tin and to be the best brand there is available to buy.

Ambrosia Custard (proudly made in Devon for over 90 years) comes in a 425g tin and costs 75p from Tesco, you can probably buy it from all supermarkets at around that cost. I think you can also buy it in cardboard cartoons too. The packaging is green and blue with a picture of a field.

Ambrosia have been making custard since 1917 using fresh milk delivered from Devon creamery in Lifton to make unique, creamy tasting custard. It can be eaten hot, cold or straight from the cupboard. I can eat it cold but prefer to eat it hot with a nice pudding. You can even buy little pots of custard now for your children to take for packed lunch, I suppose it makes a change from a yoghurt.

The custard is a good source of calcium which is good for healthy teeth and bones. It contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. There is 143 calories per 140g serving and 4.1g of fat. I'm sure eaten on its own it is a good source of calcium and simple, dairy goodness. However on top of chocolate pudding it is not so good.

It you want to eat it warm then it is really easy to cook either in a saucepan or in the microwave.

When it comes to custard I don't think you can beat Ambrosia Devon Custard. A smooth and creamy custard that tastes that nice you can even eat it when its cold. A perfect partner for chocolate pudding!
