A custard cream is a type of biscuit popular in the British Isles. Its structure is that of a sandwich with a creamy custard-flavoured centre between two flat biscuit layers. Traditionally the filling was buttercream (which is still used in home-made recipes) but nowadays cheaper fats have replaced butter in mass-produced biscuits. The filling tastes of vanilla and as such is more akin to the taste of custard made with custard powder than egg custard.
