We’ve tested this recipe with non-soya-based creams and found that the custard sometimes splits so best to use the soya-based ones which are more stable…

Creamy, smooth custard inside a no bake crumb tart shell, topped with glazed juicy fruit… a perfect pudding fit for everyone!

Melt the spread and mix into the biscuits and then tip the crumbs into the tin and push them against the sides and base of the tin to make the tart shell.  Chill or freeze for 10 minutes.

Step 4 of 6

Pour the creamy mixture into a non-stick pan and heat gently, whisking all the time until it comes up to the boil and thickens.  It will be very thick and might go lumpy – don’t worry just keep whisking! Keep cooking until its formed one thick custardy mass…Transfer the mixture into a bowl, cover with parchment and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.  Whisk through the crème fraiche.

Step 5 of 6

Spoon the filling into the base and smooth over the top. Chill for 4 hours or overnight.
