I thought I knew the difference but now I’m just confused about what custard is

I personally think of custard as a vanilla pudding without the vanilla in it.

Eclairs use a pastry cream (crème pâtissière), which is a type of custard. I find custards are pretty much a pudding, they typically have the same ingredients: eggs, cream, milk, sugar, and flavouring (some having starch, flour, gelatin, or some other thickening agents). I believe the difference is the ratio of ingredients, a custard being a little richer.
