How to Make No-Bake Custard Cream Slice

Ingredients:

200g digestive biscuits, crushed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

Prepare the base by mixing crushed biscuits and melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture into a lined 8×8-inch baking pan and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
For the custard filling, in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and egg yolks, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Pour over the chilled biscuit base and smooth out, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For the whipped topping, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form and spread evenly over the custard layer.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
