Step-by-Step: How to Make Strawberry Biscuit Custard Pudding
Step 1: Prepare the Custard
In a small bowl, mix custard powder with a few tablespoons of cold milk to remove lumps. Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan, add sugar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the custard mixture and cook on low heat, stirring continuously, until thick and smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and slice the strawberries. If they’re not very sweet, you can lightly toss them with a teaspoon of sugar and let them sit for a few minutes.
Step 3: Start Layering
In a serving dish or individual cups, place a layer of biscuits at the bottom. Break them if needed to fit evenly.
Step 4: Add Custard and Strawberries
Spread a layer of warm custard over the biscuits, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. If using whipped cream, add a thin layer here for extra creaminess.
Step 5: Repeat the Layers
Continue layering biscuits, custard, strawberries, and cream until all ingredients are used. Finish with custard and decorate with strawberries on top.
Step 6: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set. Chilling allows the biscuits to soften and the flavors to blend beautifully.
Tips for the Best Pudding
-
Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
-
Let the custard cool slightly before layering to prevent soggy biscuits.

For extra richness, replace part of the milk with cream.
