Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups crushed biscuits (digestive or tea biscuits)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 cups ready-made vanilla custard
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- Cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Create the Crumb Base
Combine the crushed biscuits with melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly coated and slightly moist. Spoon half of this mixture into your serving cups or dish, pressing lightly to form a base.
2. Layer the Custard
Pour a thick layer of custard over the biscuit base. Use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
3. Add the Cream Layer
Top the custard with whipped cream. You can sweeten it slightly if your custard isn’t very sweet.
4. Finish with Crumble
Sprinkle the remaining biscuit mixture on top to create that signature crumbly finish.
5. Garnish (Optional but Recommended)
Lightly dust with cinnamon or cocoa powder for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
