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 supermarket’s biscuit won. The supermarket taste test included M&S, Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco, and I was surprised by the results.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
