Why does custard get hard when you hit it?

Custard becomes hard when you hit it due to the disruption of its delicate structure. The force causes the proteins in the eggs to coagulate more tightly, leading to a firmer texture. Additionally, air pockets formed during the mixing process collapse, further contributing to the custard's change in consistency. This phenomenon is similar to how other gels or emulsions behave under stress.
