Category: Sweet Treat
Servings: 9 Big Squares
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Chill Time: 4 Hours
Overall Time: 4Hrs 10Minutes
Ingredients You Need:
- 300g Of Custard Cream Biscuits
- 100g Of Butter, Melted
- 397g (1 Tin) Of Condensed Milk
- 300g Of White Chocolate
How To Make:
- Firstly, gather together your equipment and ingredients and line an 8×8” loose-bottomed, square baking tin with parchment paper.
- Secondly, add 300g of custard cream biscuits to a food processor and blitz until you have a fine crumb (you could also use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin and do it by hand).
- Next, add the custard cream crumbs, 100g of melted butter and 80ml of condensed milk into a large mixing bowl and mix together until you have a wet dough.
- Press the dough down into the pre-lined baking tin.
- Now, add the 300g of white chocolate and remaining condensed milk into a heat proof bowl and over a bain marie, at a low heat, melt the chocolate. At this point the mixture should be looking thick and glossy.
- Working quickly, once melted, remove from the heat and add the melted chocolate mixture ontop of the biscuit base.
- Using a rubber spatula, press the mixture down firmly into place.
- It’s at this stage you can top with 9 custard cream biscuits if desired.
- Place the traybake into the fridge and allow to cool to chill for 4 hours, until the topping is firm to touch.
- Finally, once firm, carefully remove from the baking tin and cut into 9 squares and serve.
That’s your No-Bake Custard Cream Traybake prepared and chilled, ready for you to enjoy!

- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
