With a prep time of just 20 minutes and a quick bake, these vegan custard creams are a delightful fusion of simplicity and elegance that everyone can enjoy!
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, vegan custard powder, and baking powder.
Add the granulated sugar to the dry mixture and stir to combine.
Add the vegan butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, then work the mixture together using your hands or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. The dough should be firm yet pliable.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 5mm thickness.
Using a fluted cookie cutter, cut out an even number of circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
While the biscuits cool, prepare the cream filling. In a bowl, beat together the extra vegan butter, icing sugar, extra custard powder, and extra vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the biscuits are completely cool, spread or pipe a thin layer of the cream filling onto half of the biscuits, then sandwich them with the remaining biscuits.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week, and enjoy!
