Not as I remember it

2 stars

What have they done with it? Not bought it for some years as now cartons are so convenient, cheap enough and taste very good, but like so many products recently the 500g Tesco own brand has disappeared from my store leaving only the massive 1Kg pack and the ultra expensive brands to choose from. I was brought up on this old stalwart so thought it would be just as I remembered, but sadly it is now insipidly pale coloured, very, very bland and even the recommended sugar level isn't sweet enough either. School dinners custard was better!

This is a really convenient option as you can make as little or as much custard as you want and it is less wasteful than the plastic pots. It is easy to make and it comes out lovely and thick. I found this to have the right level of sweetness.

Great product. Very easy to use and is great for those families where only one person likes custard. Saves on wastage.

Prefer other options

Personally prefer the pre-made or to make my own, but is good if needed for large quantities.

Great value!

Clear instructions and easy to make. Tasted a little too sweet for me but the rest of the family liked it. Value for money because a little goes a long way.
