“The British people's favorite biscuit, vanilla flavored.”
The taste of custard
Custard creams are easily recognizable by their design: two rectangular biscuits decorated with embossed swirls, joined by a pale yellow cream. This cream has the flavour of custard, the British crème anglaise, sweet and vanilla-like. The biscuit, shortbread-like and slightly crunchy, remains discreet, and it is the balance between the two that gives this simple biscuit its charm.
The British people's favourite biscuit
In polls about the UK's favourite biscuits, custard cream almost always tops the list. It's a staple at office tea breaks, family gatherings, and afternoons spent watching TV. Our tip: dip it quickly in a cup of tea with milk—a second is all it takes, otherwise the biscuit will fall apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What are the essential English biscuits?
The British have their teatime classics: McVitie's Digestives and Hobnobs, Rich Tea, Custard Creams and Bourbon Creams, Crawford's Garibaldi, butter shortbread, and of course, Jaffa Cakes. Everyone has their favorite, and the debate will never be settled.
What is a digestive biscuit?
This is the quintessential English biscuit: made with wholemeal flour, lightly sweetened, with a crumbly texture. It originated in the 19th century, and its name comes from the idea that it aided digestion. It can be enjoyed plain, topped with chocolate or caramel, and also makes an excellent cheesecake base.
Is Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit?
A very serious question across the Channel: it was even settled by a British court in 1991, which ruled that Jaffa Cake was indeed a cake. Its soft sponge hardens as it ages, like a cake, whereas a biscuit softens. Cake or biscuit, it remains delicious.
What is "dunking"?
It's the very British art of dipping a biscuit in a cup of tea. Rich Teas and Digestives are the champions of this technique. The secret: dip it just enough to soften the biscuit, without letting it fall into the cup.
What is an English pudding?
In the UK, "pudding" often refers to the dessert in general, but also to a family of soft cakes cooked by steaming or baking: sticky toffee pudding, spotted dick, Christmas pudding … They are served hot, ideally topped with custard.
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 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.
