What is not considered a custard?

Explanation:
Custard is a preparation that uses eggs and a dairy liquid that thickens when gently heated, forming a smooth, cohesive mixture. Crème Anglaise is a classic custard sauce made from eggs, milk, and flavoring that is cooked just enough to thicken. Pastry cream is a custard that has starch added to help it set firmly for fillings. Sabayon is a light, whipped custard-like sauce created by whisking egg yolks with sugar (and wine) over heat until it becomes thick and airy. Strawberry Coulis, however, is simply puréed strawberries cooked with sugar and sometimes a splash of lemon, with no eggs or dairy and no thickening from egg proteins. So it is not a custard.
