Try making Classic Vanilla Custard Bars at home with our easy recipe. These bars are a timeless delight, perfect for satisfying your craving for something sweet. They’re ideal for any event or when you’re just in the mood for a tasty dessert.

Imagine enjoying layers of flaky puff pastry filled with creamy vanilla custard. The creamy custard mixed with crisp pastry offers a wonderful mix of textures and tastes. It’s so good, you’ll always want another piece.

Making the base from homemade puff pastry is suggested. Though you can use store-bought, making it yourself adds a special touch. Mix a 16 oz. pack of store-bought puff pastry with your favourite puff pastry recipe for the best flakiness.

To make a rich custard filling, start with 1 1/2 cups of whole milk and the same amount of heavy cream. Add some vanilla bean for a smooth, indulgent custard filling. This custard slices well, making it easy to serve.

Assembling the bars is easy once you’ve made the pastry and custard. Lay the custard on the pastry evenly. Top the bars with vanilla bean icing or powdered sugar for a fancy finish.

Creating your own Classic Vanilla Custard Bars beats store-bought any day. They’re a sure way to impress anyone with their heavenly blend of custard and pastry. Just one bite and you’ll be in dessert heaven.
