Can I Add Chocolate?
Absolutely! Drizzle melted chocolate between layers or mix cocoa into part of the custard for a twist.
How Long Does It Need to Chill?
Chill for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better for firm texture and flavor development.
How to Freeze
Freeze individual slices or the whole cake (without powdered sugar) wrapped tightly in plastic and foil. Store for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

How To Make Cookie Custard Cake
Step 1
Prepare the custard: In a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, milk, and vanilla extract.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.
Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone until fully incorporated. Let cool slightly.
Step 2
Assemble the cake: In a mold or deep dish, arrange a layer of cookies. Spoon a layer of custard over them, smoothing it out. Repeat the layers, ending with cookies on top.
Chill for 4–6 hours until set.
Step 3
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
