What ingredients make up custard powder? A: Custard powder is predominantly made of a starch, such as tapioca or cornstarch, along with flavoring such as vanilla, salt and annatto for color. The powder is colored and flavored so that it gains the look and flavor of custard once it is mixed with hot milk.
Cooks can elect to use the custard as a frosting alternative for cookies and cakes, as well, or as one of many layers in a dessert parfait or trifle. Some have also been known to add a few pinches of custard powder to muffin or cake batter to give the final product an unexpected sweetness and moisture. Custard sauce is another option. Adjusting the proportion of powder to liquid allows cooks to control the overall consistency. Allowing the custard to become runny is often a popular way to create a drizzle sauce or dip for drier desserts such as shortbread or crumb cake.
