Vanilla Custard Cream Squares

Variations

For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the graham cracker crust or layer melted chocolate over the crust before adding the custard.

You can also infuse the custard with different flavors, such as citrus zest, cinnamon, or a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier or bourbon.

Another option is to top the squares with fresh berries, a drizzle of caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added elegance.

If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with additional whole milk or use a low-fat alternative.

For a nutty crunch, mix chopped almonds or pecans into the crust. The custard can also be layered with fruit preserves or a thin spread of Nutella for a surprise middle layer.

For a festive touch, sprinkle crushed candy canes or holiday sprinkles on top during the winter season.

In the summer, top with tropical fruits like mango or passionfruit for a refreshing twist. The possibilities are endless, making this dessert adaptable to any season or occasion.
