What it is
These are classic British biscuits featuring a creamy custard-flavored filling sandwiched between two crisp, golden biscuits. The biscuits are typically embossed with a decorative pattern. They offer a familiar and comforting taste that many people enjoy. The texture is a satisfying crunch followed by a smooth, sweet filling.
How people cook with it
Custard creams are a popular choice for an afternoon treat or a simple snack. They pair well with a variety of beverages.
- With tea
- As a dessert accompaniment
- For afternoon tea
- In a biscuit tin
Enjoy these biscuits as they are, straight from the packet. They are perfect for dunking into a hot cup of tea or coffee, allowing the biscuit to soften slightly and the creamy filling to meld with the drink. They can also be served alongside a dessert, such as ice cream or fruit salad, to add a sweet crunch. Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight container to maintain their crispness for the best eating experience.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other sandwich biscuits, custard creams are known for their distinct custard flavor and the delicate, slightly crumbly texture of the biscuit itself. The creamy filling is smooth and sweet, offering a balance to the crisp outer layers.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining biscuits in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly or transfer them to an airtight container to prevent them from becoming stale and losing their crisp texture.
