Pastry is often boiled or blanched to set its structure and create a flaky texture, especially in preparations like pâte à choux, where steam is necessary for leavening. In contrast, custard sauce should not be boiled because high heat can cause the eggs to curdle, resulting in a grainy texture instead of the smooth, creamy consistency desired. Instead, custard should be gently heated to thicken, allowing the flavors to meld without compromising its integrity.

Can Bird's custard be substituted for Americana custard in a rum pie?

No it cannot. Jell-O Americana Custard is a set type of custard (as in flan or creme caramel). Bird's custard can be made runnier, as a sauce, or thicker, as a pudding. It will not set, however. I highly recommend it (especially as a hot sauce over crisps or cobblers), but they are different products.
