“The custard of the crumble, without a saucepan or whisk.”
The benchmark custard
Ambrosia has been making its custard in Devon for over a century, and Devon Custard is the recipe that made its name. A pale yellow custard, fluid yet coating, with a well-balanced milk and vanilla flavor, neither too sweet nor too thick. It has that comforting sweetness that makes you want to have another spoonful, and then another.
On the crumble, and everywhere else
In a British household, a carton of custard is always in the cupboard. It's poured over apple crumble, sponge pudding, fruit tart, or simply eaten cold by the spoonful. To serve it warm, heat it gently in a saucepan, stirring constantly, without letting it boil. Allow a generous ladleful per serving: in England, custard is never stingy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What is custard?
This is the British version of custard, thicker and more vanilla-flavored. It's perfect with crumbles, puddings, and fruit tarts, served hot or cold. Bird's custard powder, invented in 1837 without eggs, remains the most famous today. Ambrosia offers it ready to serve.
What is golden syrup?
It's a smooth, golden sugar syrup with a subtle caramel flavor, emblematic of British baking. Lyle's golden syrup, in its famous green and gold tin, has been around since 1883. It's used for flapjacks, treacle tart, or drizzled over pancakes and porridge.
What is black treacle?
It's a thick, intense black molasses with notes of licorice and burnt caramel. It gives gingerbread, Christmas cake, and some puddings their color and rich flavor. Just a few spoonfuls are enough.
How to prepare a homemade afternoon tea ?
You'll need warm scones , served with jam and cream, small sandwiches (cucumber, egg mayonnaise, etc.), a few pastries, and of course, a pot of black tea. A scones mix, like Green's , will make them perfect in just a few minutes.
What is English "jelly"?
In the UK, "jelly" doesn't refer to jam, but to a brightly colored fruit dessert made from cubes or powder. A staple of children's afternoon snacks, it's also layered in trifles with custard and cream. Hartley's is the leading brand.
How do I use a cake mix?
It's very simple: you usually just need to add eggs, oil or butter, and a little water, as indicated on the packaging, then bake. Brownies, muffins, cupcakes, or red velvet cakes are ready in no time, with results worthy of a coffee shop.
What is suet?
This is a fat used in traditional British cuisine for dumplings, steamed puddings, Christmas pudding , and mince pies pastry. It gives a soft and light texture. Atora offers a plant-based version in small, ready-to-use strands.
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
