I followed the instruction on the package and I found the Custard too runny. This is how I make Custard using Foster Clark’s Custard Powder. You might be …
Chocolate Syrup is easy to make. You can find so many recipes on the internet, but I believe my recipe is easiest. It is basically soft Chocolate Icing. You need Icing Sugar (Powdered Sugar) and Cocoa Powder. I add a very small pinch Salt and Vanilla as well. No preservative and anything else is it. …

This is the essentail sauce for traditional Christmas Pudding, but for grown-ups only. I don’t make this Custard Sauce very sweet as I always serve it with sweet dessert, but you may wish to add extra Sugar. The sauce becomes thicker as it cools.
