Description

Low-fat prepared custard is a creamy and smooth dairy product, specially made to offer a lighter and healthier option without sacrificing the traditional flavor and texture of classic custard. It is characterized by its low-fat content, making it an ideal alternative for those who wish to watch their calorie intake but still enjoy creamy desserts and preparations.

Custard is a very popular dessert in Hispanic American cuisine, with roots stemming from Spanish and European culinary traditions. In different countries, this dessert can vary in flavor and preparation, but it is always characterized by its creamy texture and its dairy base flavored with vanilla or cinnamon.

Among its properties, prepared low-fat custard retains a good supply of protein and calcium, coming from milk, while reducing the amount of saturated fat and calories compared to traditional custard. This makes it suitable for balanced diets, weight control, or for those seeking healthier options without giving up culinary pleasure.

Regarding synonyms or similar terms used in the Hispanic American world, besides "natilla," it can also be found in some countries called crema dulce or low-fat whipped cream, although these terms may vary by region and specific recipe.

In cooking recipes, prepared low-fat custard is commonly used as a base for desserts, fillings, fruit accompaniments, or in sweet combinations that seek a creamy texture without adding excess fat.
