Custard is such a versatile food, and if you don’t believe it you only need to look at all the recipes out there that include.
We love a good custard, whether it’s a classic plain custard, or a reinvention we never would have thought of. To get you started loving custard, here are 25 amazingly varied custard themed recipes.
1. How to Make Custard – From Scratch
You can’t fault a good custard, particularly if it’s made from scratch. Creamy soft and silky smooth, what’s not to like?
2. Chocolate Espresso Custard
Custard and coffee come together in this incredible dish, that is perfect for a family dessert or at your next dinner party. Make custard cool again!
3. Old Fashioned Custard Creams
Melt in your mouth bikkies with custard right there in the name, our Nana used to make these traditional custard creams, and now we do too!
4. Vanilla Slice With Hazelnut Crunch
Sure, the classic vanilla slice is great (look down below for that recipe) but we do like it when there’s a bit of a twist on what’s ‘normal’. This hazelnut crunch definitely qualifies!
5. Classic Brandy Custard
Is it even Christmas if there’s no brandy custard on the table for the adults? We didn’t think so, but we’ve made a few cheeky brandy custards outside of the holiday season as well!
6. Double Chocolate Eclair Cake
This Double Chocolate No Bake Eclair Cake has so much going on for it that we’re drooling from the title alone. Custard, chocolate, eclair flashbacks and the ease of no baking, we love it!
7. Creamy Vanilla Custard Cupcakes
There’s something about the texture of custard that just gets us, which is why these Creamy Vanilla Custard Cupcakes are so damn good.
8. Custard Pie (Galatoboureko)
This custard pie, or Galatoboureko is actually a traditional Greek dish. The smooth custard and that stunning flaky topping, serve us a big slice!
9. Vanilla Magic Custard Cake
We love these magic custard cakes, which give you three layers of cake from just one single batter. Definitely a magic trick we’ll bring our plates for!
10. Slow Cooker Choc Custard Pots
There’s so much you can do with your slow cooker, but if you’ve never made chocolate custard pots then you are definitely missing out. Whip some up today!
11. Custard Style Baked Rice Pudding
Rice pudding is great, don’t get us wrong, and it’s particularly a hit with the kids. But once you’ve tried this custard style baked rice pudding you’ll never make it any other way!
12. Classic Canadian Prairie Flapper Pie
We might have never heard of the flapper pie before, but don’t think we aren’t totally in love with it. Look at those stunning layers, and the custard… We’re drooling!
13. Mexican Chocolate Custard Cake
Mexican chocolate custard cake is flourless, super rich, and easy as to make. It has a great texture and subtle spice flavour, we’re definitely fans!
14. Berry Custard Cake
There’s something about berries and custard that we just love, particularly when it’s a recipe like this Berry Custard Cake that we just cannot get enough of. Recommended!
15. Classic Creme Brûlée
Can you really have a custard recipe list without a classic creme brûlée? We didn’t think so! Definitely worth making for your next fancy dessert.
16. Portuguese Custard Tarts
Portuguese custard tarts are just good. They’re super moorish and way too easy to just feed in, but that doesn’t mean we’re planning on not making them. Definitely a custard fave.
17. Chocolate Custard Pudding
A good pudding will do wonders on a bad day, and a good chocolate pudding is just infinitely better. This chocolate custard pudding? So good we can’t describe it!
18. Vanilla Custard Slice
If you don’t have a classic vanilla custard slice in your collection, you are missing out. There are so many to choose from, but this one definitely has a lot going for it.
19. Apple Custard Pie With Streusel
Apple and custard go together really well, particularly in this Apple Custard Pie. Add in the streusel topping and we are coming back for seconds!

We know what you’re thinking: custard ice cream? But it is a thing, and believe us when we tell you that you will not regret whipping up a batch. It is divine.
21. Carrot Custard
Carrot custard might sound weird, but it’s totally legit and absolutely delicious. Perfect for using up excess carrots when carrot cake just isn’t satisfying anymore.
22. Chocolate Custard Magic Cake
If you thought the vanilla custard magic cake was cool, just wait until you see the decadence that is the chocolate magic cake. Three blissful layers, minimal effort!
23. Sugar Cream Pie
Pretty much creme brûlée in pie form, there’s not much to fault with this sugar cream pie, except that there isn’t more of it!
24. Blueberry Custard Pie
Blueberries and custard will always get a yes from us, particularly when they’re contained in a recipe as stunning as this blueberry custard pie. Hell yes.
25. Toasted Marshmallow Chocolate Custard Pie
Chocolate custard pie is one thing, but a toasted marshmallow chocolate custard pie is entirely another. You will not be able to say no to this one.
Which one of these delicious custard recipes are you going to whip up first?
