For the Base:

Place the biscuits in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or a food processor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, roasted peanuts, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of your serving dish or individual dessert glasses. Refrigerate while you prepare the custard cream.

For the Custard Cream:

In a saucepan, heat the milk until it’s hot but not boiling. Remove it from the heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla until well combined.
Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a custard-like consistency. This may take a few minutes.
Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter until it’s fully incorporated.

To Assemble:

Pour the custard cream over the biscuit base in your serving dish or glasses.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the custard is set.
