What to Serve with Custard Tart?

Custard tart is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of accompaniments.

Here are 13 foods that go well with custard tart:

1. Vanilla Ice Cream

I love to munch on some cool, creamy vanilla ice cream after a hot day outdoors.

It’s the perfect way to cool down and enjoy some sweet flavor without all the sugar highs and lows that come with other desserts.

Vanilla ice cream is also a great option for people who are watching their sugar intake, as it has relatively low amounts of sugar.

2. Chocolate Sauce

Or, how about some delicious chocolate sauce to go with your custard tart?

This is a very easy recipe that can be made in just minutes.

All you need is chocolate, heavy cream, and sugar.

1. Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly.
2. Then whisk in the cream and sugar until smooth.
3. Serve over your custard tart and enjoy!

3. Fresh Berries

Fresh berries are super healthy for you and make a great side dish for your custard tart.

They add sweetness and a tartness that compliments the richness of the custard.

Try strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for a delicious and nutritious option.

4. Whipped Cream

Whether you buy it at the store or make your own, whipped cream is a great way to add a little sweetness and creaminess to any dessert.

1. Simply whisk together heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
2. Then top your custard tart, ice cream or cake with the whipped cream and enjoy!

5. Lemon Curd

Lemon curd can be made at home with just two ingredients: sugar and lemon juice.

It’s a great way to add some brightness and citrus flavor to any dessert.

1. Simply whisk the sugar and lemon juice together until the sugar is fully dissolved, then heat the mixture over low heat until it thickens into a custard.
2. Serve it warm or cold, topped with fresh fruit or whipped cream.

6. Orange Marmalade

I love to serve orange marmalade with custard tarts for a bit of sweetness and tartness.

It’s also a great way to add some color and flavor to an otherwise classic dessert.

I like to use a sweeter orange marmalade, like Grand Marnier, for these tarts, but any marmalade will do.

Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar accordingly.

7. Caramel Sauce

If chocolate sauce isn’t your thing, try a caramel sauce.

It’s just as easy to make and tastes just as good.

All you need is sugar, cornstarch, butter, and milk.

Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Serve warm or cold.

8. Cinnamon Sugar

You can also just drizzle some melted butter and a touch of cinnamon sugar over the top of the custard for an extra touch of sweetness.

Here’s how I like to do it:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
2. Once the butter has melted, add the cinnamon sugar mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe it over the custard.

9. Ground Nuts

If you like a little crunch in your desserts, try grinding some nuts up before you add them to the batter.

This will give your custard tart a nice texture and flavor.

Almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios are all good choices.

10. Toasted Coconut Flakes

If you want some exotic flavor to top off your custard tart, try toasting some coconut flakes.

This step is optional, but it really elevates the flavor of the flakes and makes them a nice textural addition.

1. Simply preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spread the flakes on a baking sheet.
2. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until they start to brown.

11. Crushed Meringue

You could also crush some meringue and use it as a topping for your custard tart.

This is a great way to add a little sweetness and richness to the tart without adding any extra sugar.

Simply whip some sugar, egg whites and cream together until stiff peaks form, then fold in some crushed meringue until desired consistency is reached.

12. Dried Fruit

Dried fruit is super delicious on its own, but it also makes a great addition to custard tarts.

Try serving a mix of chopped raisins, figs, apricots and dates. You can even add some nuts if you’d like.

13. Chocolate Chips

If you have some chocolate chips lying around, why not use them to top your custard tart?

Not only do they add a nice flavor and texture, but they also help to prevent the custard from becoming too dense.

What to Serve with Egg Custard Tart?

You can serve egg custard tart with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

If you prefer a savory dish, you can serve it with roasted meats or vegetables.

What to Serve with Portuguese Custard Tarts?

Portuguese custard tarts go well with coffee, tea, or even a glass of milk. If you want to have a more filling meal, you can serve them with a side of fruit or a light salad.

What Goes Best with Custard?

There are many different types of custard, so it really depends on what you are serving. Fruit custards pair well with fresh fruit, while chocolate custards can be served with cookies or cake. Vanilla custard is a versatile option that goes well with almost anything.
