When I was a child, egg custard was a very popular dessert in our home. And, when it came to egg custard, my mom was a master chef at whipping up the creamiest, richest, most delightfully delicious custard there was ~ or has been!

I was always fascinated at how three simple ingredients such as eggs, milk, and sugar could unite to form something so delicious. Sometimes, that custard would be spiked with some cardamom or jaggery.

Over the years though, as life unraveled, I discovered that I was lactose intolerant – and seemed to become more and more so each day. Well, egg custard took a backseat to cakes, pies, and lactose-free versions of egg custard. But, gosh, did I miss that hard-to-describe taste of egg custard made with the basics.

But then, LACTAID® Fast Act Lactose Intolerance Caplets entered my life and opened up my dessert options again! Egg custard (made with milk, eggs, and sugar) found its way back into my life! In fact, over the last three years or so, we have been making egg-custard pies for our holiday dessert table.

This past summer LACTAID® Fast Act Lactose Intolerance Caplets helped me indulge in big scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream to go with crisps like this strawberry crisp.

LACTAID® Fast Act Lactose Intolerance Caplets have helped me immensely by preventing the discomfort from sensitivity due to lactose*. LACTAID® is the #1 pharmacist recommended brand of lactose intolerance products. They can prevent discomfort such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea associated with digesting dairy*

I usually place an order for LACTAID®, IMODIUM®, and PEPCID AC® on Walmart.com and then head in to Walmart to pick them up. When I’m in store, all I have to do is go to the pick up kiosk and get my order.

I am hoping that by the time this holiday season rolls around, my daughter and I would have managed to unpack and redo our kitchen in our new older home so we can make a small batch of egg custard pies again. While this holiday season might be a lot quieter than holiday seasons past, I still hope to make a batch and drop off some for my mom and sister.

Getting back to these egg custard pies. The custard for these pies are based on a custard recipe my mom uses. But, the idea of making them into pies came from a show on TV.

Ever since, my daughter and I have made egg custard pies to enjoy around the holidays. Sometimes we even make a few extra to enjoy as part of our New Year’s Eve snack and dessert platter. Most times we make fresh whipped cream to accompany these egg custard pies.

Whipped cream is a tasty accompaniment to a lot of holiday desserts and I plan on making sure I have LACTAID® on hand so I can enjoy those desserts I love.
If you might be dealing with discomfort such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea due to a sensitivity to digesting dairy*, please do give LACTAID® Fast Act Lactose Intolerance Caplets a try.
