“The taste of Devon Custard, but lighter.”
Lighter, still creamy
Light Devon Custard captures the vanilla flavour of Ambrosia custard in a lighter version. On the palate, it's slightly thinner than the classic recipe, but retains the creamy, sweet character that makes English custard so appealing. It coats fruit without overpowering it and leaves a clean, almost fresh finish when served chilled.
The everyday custard
This is the one we keep for weekday desserts, when we're craving custard without waiting for Sunday: sautéed apples, fruit salad, plain yogurt, rhubarb compote. Gently heated in a saucepan, it also pairs beautifully with a red berry crumble. Once opened, keep the carton refrigerated and follow the storage time indicated on the packaging.

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.
