🥄 Ingredients for Custard with Biscuits:

Custard with Biscuits

 

  • 2.5 cups of fresh milk

  • 3 tablespoons of custard powder

  • 6 tablespoons of sugar

  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup of butter

  • 1 pack of plain tea biscuits

🍮 How to Prepare Custard with Biscuits:

  1. Crush the Biscuits:
    Place the biscuits in a deep bowl and crush them until they become fine crumbs.

  2. Melt the Butter:
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  3. Combine with Biscuits:
    Add the crushed biscuits to the melted butter and stir for about 3 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat.

  4. Form the Base Layer:
    Spoon a thin layer of the biscuit mixture into the bottom of your serving cups or a glass dish (like a Pyrex), pressing it down to form a flat base.

  5. Prepare the Custard Mixture:

    • In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of cold milk with the custard powder and vanilla until smooth.

    • Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan with the sugar over medium heat.

    • Once it begins to boil, add the custard mixture slowly, stirring continuously until it thickens to your desired consistency.

  6. Assemble the Dessert:
    Remove the custard from the heat and pour it over the biscuit layer in your serving dish.

  7. Chill the Dessert:
    Let the dessert cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours so the custard can fully set.

  8. Optional Layer – Add Jelly:
    For an extra touch of flavor and color, you can top the custard with a pre-prepared jelly layer before refrigerating it. This adds both taste and visual appeal.

  9. Final Toppings (Optional):
    Just before serving, garnish with grated coconut, nuts, biscuit crumbles, or fresh fruit.

This dessert is perfect for both family dinners and entertaining guests. It’s light, creamy, and beautifully layered. Serve chilled and enjoy every spoonful!
