custard cream

British sandwich biscuit

A custard cream is a British biscuit consisting of two flat, rectangular or oval vanilla-flavored cookies sandwiching a sweet custard-flavored cream filling.

The top is typically embossed with an ornate baroque pattern.

It's a staple of British tea time and biscuit tins, often dunked in tea despite the risk of the filling going soggy.

I'll have a custard cream with my cuppa.
