Description

Indulge in the creamy, no-bake goodness of this delicious custard slice. Layers of graham crackers or biscuits sandwich velvety custard, creating a heavenly dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Graham Cracker Layer:

  • 1 package (7 oz) plain graham crackers or vanilla biscuits

Custard Filling:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Arrange a layer of graham crackers or biscuits in the bottom of the dish.
  2. Make Custard: In a saucepan, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Temper egg yolks with a portion of the warm milk mixture, then combine back in the saucepan. Cook until thickened, then stir in butter and vanilla.
  3. Layer: Pour half of the custard over the biscuit layer, add another layer of biscuits, then top with the remaining custard. Finish with a final layer of biscuits.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy cold.

Notes

  • You can add a layer of whipped cream on top before serving for an extra indulgent touch.
  • Digestive biscuits or Marie biscuits also work well as alternatives.
