The best way to cook it....

5 stars

Been buying this for years. So much better than the instant add hot water stuff. Yes it will taste chalky if you don't cook it correctly! It needs to be on the hob for about 2 minutes at boiling temperature (they don't say this in the instructions) and stir with a wooden spoon to stop it sticking. Tastes great when made with evapourated milk but very calorific. Would be helpful if the info said how many calories for the unmade powder but this is not on the container. Suggests you can use alternative milks so this would help for quick calcs if you are calorie counting. An old calorie book I have says 94 cals for 28g.

Beware when opening

1 stars

Terrible tub. It is designed to spill all over the kitchen. In addition the diameter is too large for many hands. I prefer to use cornflour if I can get it in a normal pack.

Disappointing.

2 stars

Don,t know what they have done to this but custard should taste of vanilla and be smooth and creamy. This tastes of chalk to me and nothing like what custard should be.

Accidentally Vegan

5 stars

Make it up with non dairy milk and you have a vegan homemade custard
