Make a slightly thicker Bird’s Custard using less milk, and spoon on top of fairy cakes instead of butter icing for fabulous fairy cakes. Pop some jam underneath for a tasty surprise.

Serves 4

What you need

  • Bird’s Custard Powder
  • sugar
  • milk
  • ready made fairy cakes
  • strawberry or raspberry jam

How to make it

  1. Make up the Bird’s custard as directed using ? of the milk specified.
  2. Allow the custard to cool, then transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes and the custard should be thick and creamy.
  3. Take some ready made fairy cakes and spread a teaspoonful of jam over each one.
  4. Top each fairy cake with a good serving of cold custard.

Hints and tips

  • Before placing the custard into the fridge, cover with a damp piece of cling film and this will prevent a skin from forming.
  • For an extra special treat top the fairy cakes with a glace cherry or some sugar strands.

  • What a great idea, and would I be right in saying it's less fattening than butter cream
