If you are a fan of classic British biscuits, you have probably heard the rumors. The supermarket kings at Marks & Spencer are reportedly launching a brand-new Custard Cream Milkshake.
While we love an M&S treat as much as the next person, why wait for the release date (or pay supermarket prices) when you can whip up an even better version right in your own kitchen?
This DIY Custard Cream Milkshake recipe is incredibly easy, hassle-free, and takes less than five minutes to make. If you want a quick, thick, and deeply comforting sweet treat, this is the ultimate recipe for you.
🛒 The Ingredients
You don’t need a professional kitchen or any fancy equipment for this recipe—just a container or a standard measuring jug and a whisk or spoon. Here is what you will need for one serving:
- Milk: 150ml
- Custard: 200g (Ready-made pourable custard works best!)
- Caster Sugar: 3 teaspoons (Optional, adjust to taste)
- Vanilla Essence: Up to 1 teaspoon
- Whipped Cream: Vanilla whipped cream is highly recommended!
- The Star Ingredient: Custard Cream biscuits
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
This recipe is incredibly straightforward, making it the perfect quick fix for late-night cravings
or a fun weekend treat.
Step 1: Blend the Base
First, put 200g of custard into a container (a glass measuring jug works perfectly for this). Next, add your 150ml of milk. Mix or whisk vigorously until both ingredients have completely blended together into a smooth, creamy liquid base.
Step 2: Flavor and Sweeten
Add your 3 teaspoons of caster sugar (if you want that extra hit of sweetness) and stir it in. Then, add a little splash of vanilla essence.
Top Tip: Keep it to a maximum of one teaspoon of vanilla essence. Anything more than that will overpower the delicate, nostalgic flavor of the custard!
Step 3: Top it Off
Now for the best part. Simply add as much whipped cream as your heart desires to the top of your drink. While standard whipped cream is fine, vanilla whipped cream works best because it perfectly compliments the custard base.
Step 4: The Ultimate Garnish
Finally, top off your creation with a whole Custard Cream biscuit (and maybe a few extra crumbs if you are feeling fancy).
Your homemade Custard Cream Milkshake is ready to serve!
🥤 Why This Recipe Beats the Store-Bought Version
Aside from saving you a trip to the high street, making this milkshake at home lets you control exactly what goes into it. You can make it extra thick by adding a bit more custard, or dial back the sugar if you prefer a more subtle sweetness.
Plus, you get to stack the whipped cream and biscuits as high as you want!
