About this deal

Just made this custard to use as one of the layers of a spring/summer trifle I make with sliced fresh strawberries, white cake cubes and fresh whipped cream. The custard came out wonderful. Beautifully smooth and creamy (no lumps!). I did not think it was too sweet. I intentionally used salted butter. I used 50% more ingredients so I would have enough for two layers, no problem! I will use this recipe again for a banana cream pie. I’m not sure what is going on unfortunately. I make this recipe so regularly because we love eating custard at home, and don’t have any issues with clumping at all.

Therefore, you should instead pour hot (close to boiling) milk, skipping the dangerous “curdling temperature”, and cook the eggs and flour at the same time.

How to make Custard Creams

You can abosolutely replace the sugar with maple syrup! Instead of 75 g of sugar, I would add 75 g maple syrup. I would also increase the cornstarch from 30 g to 40g, due to the higher water content (or higher for an even stiffer pastry cream, depending on what you will be using it for). Beat the butter and sugar (using a stand mixer or handheld beateuntil light and creamy. Add the vanilla and milk and beat it through. Most of the time (of not all) you ned to use an ice cream machine to churn the ice cream. Baked Custard Very easy to follow, clear directions. It worked perfectly, but since I had EXACTLY 2 cups of milk left, I used 2 cups of milk and 4 tbs of cornstarch. The only critique I have is that this is very sweet. Even though I used extra milk and was skimpy on the 1/2 cup of sugar. Our taste runs to much less sweet desserts…and nearly every American recipe for desserts is too sweet for us. I’ll be trying this with 1/2 the sugar next time. My family obviously know how much I love biscuits AND baking so it was the perfect present. I'm impressed with the cutters, they printed really well and made the biscuits look very authentic.

Keep the milk at low simmer. In a bowl whisk egg yolks. In a separate bowl combine the remaining sugar and cornstarch. Add egg yolks to the sugar and cornstarch mixture and whisk to combine. For the custard layer, put the mascarpone into a large bowl then add the custard. Whisk together until creamy and smooth. Spoon the custard over the fruit and sponge.Allow the pie to cool down fully at room temperature. This is important as placing it in the fridge before it is at room temperature for some reason can stop the filling being so smooth and creamy. The sudden temperature change just changes the consistency of the filling.

I rated this recipe 5 stars. As a newbie to make this custard, I did not encounter any mishap. It turned out good as I followed the directions well. Very nice textures. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Real appreciated indeed.

To decorate, melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Once melted remove from the hob but keep the bowl over the hot water whilst you make up the remaining custard. This is a smashing recipe. The biscuits go down great every time. Well done Amy and thanks for sharing in such an easy to follow way. I wish my nana had made these. Use slightly tart gooseberries in this summer dessert with a delicate vanilla custard and filo pastry The custard will have "set" after chilling. So it is important to whisk the pastry cream to make it smooth before using. Step Two: Using a palette knife or butter knife spread over a layer of buttercream onto half the biscuits. Next, pair up the biscuits with another half that is roughly the same size and shape (as they will vary slightly). Sandwich the two halves together gently. Top Tips
