The simple no-bake dessert in a glass is perfect when you need something sweet without the hassle of baking. It’s made with a quick-cooking vanilla custard, plain biscuits, and whipped cream. The custard comes together quickly, and after the dessert chills for a few hours, the biscuits soften slightly and blend well with the smooth texture of the custard. You can layer it in regular glasses, ice cream cups, or any individual containers you have on hand. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified exactly; includes custard preparation and layering the glasses Cooking time: until the custard thickens over low heat Chilling time: a few hours Servings: the number depends on the size of the glasses used Difficulty: easy Recipe type: simple no-bake dessert in a glass Ingredients For the custard: 500 ml milk 2 eggs 80 g sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons flour For the layers: 10-12 plain biscuits For decoration: Whipped cream Instructions 1. Place the milk and vanilla extract in a pot and heat them over the stove. 2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour. Whisk well until you achieve a creamy consistency, ensuring there are no lumps of flour. 3. When the milk is warm, take a few tablespoons and gradually add them to the egg, sugar, and flour mixture. Mix well after each addition. This step helps to thin the mixture before adding it to the pot. 4. Pour the mixture into the pot with the milk and set everything over low heat. 5. Stir continuously until the custard thickens. It’s important not to leave it unattended, as it can stick to the bottom of the pot. 6. Once the custard has thickened, let it cool slightly. It doesn’t need to be completely cold for layering, but it should no longer be hot. 7. Prepare the glasses, ice cream cups, or chosen containers for the dessert. 8. Break the biscuits into pieces and place one biscuit in the bottom of each glass. 9. Add a few tablespoons of custard to cover the biscuits. 10. Continue layering biscuits and custard until you run out of ingredients. Depending on the size of the glasses, you will get more or fewer layers. 11. Top each glass with whipped cream. 12. Chill the desserts for a few hours before serving. Why I make this recipe often It’s an easy recipe that doesn’t require an oven. The custard uses common ingredients, and the dessert can be layered directly in glasses without any complicated steps. I also like that it can be adapted based on what I have on hand: you can use a different type of custard, and the biscuits can be combined with fruits. After a few hours in the fridge, the dessert has a more pleasant texture than immediately after layering. The biscuits soften from the custard, but retain enough structure to be felt in every spoonful. Tips Mix the eggs, sugar, and flour before adding the warm milk. The mixture should be as smooth as possible to avoid lumps of flour. First, add only a few tablespoons of warm milk to the egg mixture. Once well mixed, you can pour this mixture into the pot with the remaining milk. The custard is cooked over low heat and stirred continuously until it thickens. Don’t rush this step by increasing the flame. Let the custard cool slightly before assembling the dessert. If it’s too hot, it can quickly soften the biscuits. The amount of custard and the number of layers depend on the size of the glasses. The layers don’t need to be perfectly even. Substitutions The vanilla extract can be replaced with another flavor, but the basic recipe uses vanilla extract. Plain biscuits can be swapped for other types of biscuits if you desire a different texture or flavor. The source recipe recommends plain biscuits in its basic version. The cooked custard can be substituted with a store-bought custard. Chocolate, caramel, or coffee-flavored custards can also be used. Whipped cream remains the suggested topping for the dessert, but the amount depends on how many glasses you prepare. Variations For a chocolate version, use chocolate custard instead of vanilla custard. Caramel custard changes the flavor of the dessert without needing to modify the layering method. The same alternating pattern of biscuits and custard is maintained. Another option is coffee-flavored custard. You can use either homemade or store-bought custard. You can also add fruits between the layers. Strawberries and bananas are mentioned in the recipe. Slice them and layer them between biscuits and custard in the desired amount. If using fruits, layer them rather than mixing them into the custard. This way, the distinction between biscuits, custard, and fruits remains clear. Serving ideas Serve the dessert directly in the glasses you assembled it in. Individual glasses make it easy to portion and keep the layers visible. You can also use ice cream cups or other suitable individual containers. The important thing is that they are large enough to hold the biscuits, custard, and whipped cream topping. The dessert is served cold after chilling for a few hours. Before serving, check that the biscuits have absorbed enough custard and that the whipped cream is still nicely positioned on top. Frequently asked questions Can the dessert be made with store-bought custard? Yes. The vanilla custard can be replaced with store-bought custard. Chocolate, caramel, or coffee custards are also suitable. How long should the dessert chill? The recipe recommends chilling for a few hours. This time allows the biscuits to soften from the custard and helps the dessert achieve a more cohesive texture. Can I use fruits between the layers? Yes. Fruits such as strawberries or bananas can be added between the layers of biscuits and custard. The fruits are placed in the glasses along with the other components. Why should warm milk be added to the egg mixture before putting it in the pot? A few tablespoons of warm milk gradually thin the egg, sugar, and flour mixture. Once mixed, it can be poured into the pot with milk without abruptly changing the consistency. Can I layer the dessert in ice cream cups? Yes. The recipe can be layered in glasses, ice cream cups, or any other suitable individual containers. Nutritional values The values below are estimates for the entire amount of custard and 10-12 plain biscuits, excluding the whipped cream used for decoration. They cannot be calculated exactly as the type of milk, brand of biscuits, and amount of whipped cream are not specified. For the entire recipe: Calories: approximately 1,250-1,450 kcal Protein: approximately 38-45 g Carbohydrates: approximately 220-255 g Fat: approximately 30-40 g The values per glass vary depending on the number of glasses prepared and the amount of custard, biscuits, and whipped cream used in each. The whipped cream added at the end increases the caloric intake and fat content, so for a more accurate calculation, the amount used should be known. Storage and reheating Store the dessert in the refrigerator in the glasses it was assembled in. It is recommended to keep it chilled until serving, especially since it contains egg and milk custard, as well as whipped cream. The dessert is not reheated. It is served cold after a few hours of chilling. It is best kept covered or in sealed containers to prevent the whipped cream and custard from absorbing odors from the refrigerator.
