Custard creams are a classic biscuit with a custard-flavoured cream filling found in biscuit selection tins as well as on supermarket shelves. They've been around since 1908 and have been a staple for biscuit lovers ever since.


Commonly eaten alongside a cup of tea, I decided to try eight different varieties to see which biscuit won. The supermarket taste test included , , , , , , and , and I was surprised by the results.



1. Morrisons - 70p for 400g

The custard cream from Morrisons lacked filling, and I couldn't really taste the filling too much.


It was pretty standard and nothing too special compared to some of the others.


6/10


2. Sainsbury's - 30p for 200g

The custard cream from Sainsbury's had a little more filling and was super tasty.


The texture was much nicer, and the biscuit was slightly crunchier.


9/10



3. Asda - 60p for 400g

Asda's custard cream was less crumbly, and the biscuit had a nice texture.


However, I couldn't taste the filling too much, and it wasn't a standout biscuit.


7/10


4. Tesco - 60p for 400g

The custard cream from Tesco really wasn't anything special and I didn't like the texture or taste despite having quite a lot of filling.


I found this biscuit to be quite dry compared to some of the others I tasted.


5/10



5. Waitrose - £1 for 150g

This custard cream from Waitrose was super tasty, and the texture of the biscuit was more of a shortcake.


I did really enjoy this custard cream, but for the price, I think others were tastier.


8/10


6. M&S - 50p for 175g

M&S took the top spot for me with their double-stuffed custard cream, and it was super tasty.


You could really taste the filling, the ratio was absolutely perfect, and definitely worth the price.


10/10



7. Lidl - 49p for 400g

Despite being super affordable, the biscuit tasted super cheap and was not enjoyable at all.


I think other supermarket custard creams were much nicer, such as Sainsbury's.


3/10


8. Aldi - 45p for 300g

Despite looking appealing, Aldi's biscuit was very similar to Lidl's and tasted super cheap.


The filling was pleasant, but again, the other supermarkets tasted much nicer.


3/10
