Store Bought Cookie Crust
We could make a crust from scratch, but this package of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix just makes things so easy and is the perfect foundation for these Strawberry Custard Bars. It is chewy, sweet and holds up so good that you can eat these bars by hand!
Easy Sugar Cookie Crust Recipe
Here is what you will need to add to your 17.5 ounce package of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup softened butter softened
2 Tablespoons flour
1 large egg
In a large bowl, mix everything with a hand mixer until well combined. Spread in a greased 9X13 pan.
How to make Strawberry Custard Pie Bars
Here is what you will need to make this delicious dessert
4 cups strawberries
3 eggs beaten
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Can I use different berries?
If you have some other berries on hand such as blueberries or raspberries, feel free to swap some of the strawberries for other berries for a beautiful berry custard dessert.
Custard Dessert Recipe
In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, sugar, cream, flour, salt and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the berries and bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes.
The center will be very slightly jiggly, but the edges should be set. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
How to serve Strawberry Custard Bars
Once the dessert has cooled, dig into this rich and delicious mix of a chewy sugar cookie crust topped with fresh berries and a silky custard. It doesn’t get much better!
You can serve the dessert topped with a dollop of whipped cream or dusted with powdered sugar if you like very sweet desserts. We love enjoying the dessert just as it is.
How to store leftovers
Once the Strawberry Custard dessert has cooled to room temperature, store it covered in the refrigerator. This dessert, like most recipes, is best served fresh the first day. It will hold in the refrigerator for up to 3 days though.
If you are serving guests from leftovers, I suggest pulling it from the refrigerator an hour before serving so it can warm to room temperature. When you serve this dessert chilled, the crust becomes a little harder than I prefer.
