Question

How do you know if custard has gone bad?

Answer 1

If the custard has gone bad the custard will usually have a different texture to it and also may have a bad smell or bad taste.

If you notice any mold growth in the custard or the custard smells bad or the custard has changed texture or color then it has gone bad or is going bad and should be thrown out.

Raw or uncooked custard lasts for up to 3 days in the refrigerator before it goes bad and should be thrown out.

If the custard has been in the refrigerator longer than 3 days then throw it out because after 3 days it can grow bad bacteria in the custard and make you sick.

Cooked custard can last for up to a week usually before it goes bad.

But raw custard only lasts for up to 3 days.

If you're unsure if the custard is bad or not then throw it out to avoid any risks to your health.

Answer 2

If your custard smells bad after making it then it's likely been overcooked.

You can make your custard smell better and fix the overcooked custard easily.

To fix overcooked or burnt custard all you have to do is add custard powder, sugar, and water to a bowl and mix them well.

Later, add the mixture to the boiled milk.

Whisk all of it properly so that the custard is super delicious.

The smell of custard will overcome the smell of burnt milk.
