Only on very rare occasions in junior school did we have chocolate cake & pink custard - delicious! Good luck trying to find some - if you do let me know as I've searched for years & can't find any!  |

It's called strawberry custard and sold in most any shop that sells regular custard powder.. Tesco's even do pots of it by ambrosia |

Urgh, all I can think about now is the aftermath of an overdose on pink custard that a fellow pupil had in primary 4.... Pink custard has never been the same for me!! |

I used to love both of those puddings. I didn't have them at school though as I came home for lunchtime but my mum made them
Her pink custard was simply pink blancmange before it went cold and was allowed to set. We often had it with bananas
The manchester tart we had was a layer of pastry with a layer of jam over it them covered in custard which was allowed to set, sometimes it also had a sprinkling of coconut on the top
As a child we always had a proper pudding, never had fruit or yogurt for pudding unless the fruit was part of a fruit pie or crumble |

1 pint of milk
1 pack of pink blancmange
2-3 tbs of sugar...depending on your taste
Really no need to go hunting for pink custard all day |

Yes I'll dig them out tomorrow.
Pink custard is just normal custard with colouring and strawberry essence.
Like green custard mint flavour and green colouring. Chocolate custard powder with cocoa powder in it.
Custard powder sugar and milk. You can even cook it in the microwave. |

You're too kind! I think when I tried it, it mentioned a use of blanc mange which must've stumped me! |
