Alpro Custard

Alpro Custard... not much to say about it except "Yum". I gave it a try and was pleased. It tastes very much like custard, which is good, it doesn't have any sort of 'funny' taste like I always expect soya products to have. I enjoyed it on a nice piece of apple pie.

You can enjoy it hot or cold and it's full of vitamins and calcium. It's low in fat. It comes in a convenient carton.

You can find Alpro custard in most supermarkets and many other shops:

• Tesco
• Sainsburys
• Asda
• Waitrose
• Morrisons
• Co-Op
• E H Booth
• Supervalu
• Dunnes
• Irish Independent stores

Alpro custard can be used in all your favourite recipes, how about trying these fantastic Individual Sherry Trifles:

Ingredients

• 260 g Madeira cake, cut into 2cm cubes
• 450 g pack raspberries
• 6 tbsp sherry
• 2 x Alpro soya raspberry and vanilla alternative to yogurt
• Alpro soya dairy free custard

Preparation

Place the madeira cake cubes into the bottom of 6 individual serving dishes, scatter over the raspberries and sherry. 
To make the custard, pour the Alpro soya alternative to milk into a heavy-based saucepan. Split the vanilla pot in half, scrape out the seeds and add the seeds and pod to the pan. Heat gently to just below boiling point. 
Combine the egg yolks, caster sugar and cornflour into a smooth paste. Add the hot Alpro soya alternative to milk, stirring constantly, then pour back into the saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring, until the custard has thickened. 
Allow to cool completely, then remove the vanilla pod and pour the custard over the base of the trifle. 
Cool and place in the fridge to chill for approximately 1 hour. 
Spoon the Alpro soya yogurt alternative over the custard and serve.
