18 delicious custard recipes for any occasion

Whether you make it from scratch or cook it in the microwave, there’s nothing better than warm custard drizzled over the top of decadent puddings or baked in beautiful cakes and pastries.

Custard Cake

A one bowl, no fuss, delicious cake. I got this recipe while waiting for my children to finish school. I saw a mother give her child a piece and it looked delicious, so I asked her for the recipe. I bet you can't stop at one slice!

Sweet Potato, Custard and Sultana Cake

Sounds unusual with the sweet potato, but is one of my favourites. Potato makes it more savoury than a sweet cake. You won't be able to stop at one slice! I love it spread with butter.

Portuguese Custard Tarts

Delicious custard tarts which can be served hot or cold.

Apple, Caramel and Custard Poke Cake

A delicious combination of sweet apple, salty caramel and smooth custard. The perfect dessert or afternoon tea.

Custard Cake

Custard powder isn't a standard ingredient for a cake, but this one is yummy - give it a try.

Custard Sponge Cake

This sponge is so easy to make and has a subtle flavour of custard! I usually cut the cakes in half and join with lots of whipped cream, strawberries and grated flake. This recipe makes 2 cakes, so you can freeze one for later use.

Vanilla custard slice recipe

There’s no need to trek to the bakery when you can make this old-school beauty at home.

Chocolate Fruit Mince Puddings with Custard and Strawberries

Chocolate fruit mince puddings with custard and strawberries, brought to you by Woolworths Christmas.

Custard vanilla slice

This creamy custard or vanilla slice recipe is so easy, even the kids will be able to make it - but they may need a little help with the oven. It has a delicious, thick custard centre and a crispy pastry top and bottom.

Baked Rice Custard

My nan used to make this and it still tastes as good hot or cold.

Divine vanilla slice

Everyone raves about these little jewels. They are a hit at parties, and no one can just have one. This is a great recipe if you need to take a plate and have the time to prepare two days in advance.
