What was this M&S dessert - custard layer, cream layer, I think caramel maybe?

I used to love it but haven't seen it for quite a few years! Does anyone else remember?

It had the sort of layering a trifle does, but no fruit or jelly. Can't remember if there was sponge at the bottom but don't think so?

Anyone know what I'm on about?

I love waitrose caramel surprise but it's becoming hard to find. I only have little waitrose branches near me and none stock it.

Oh me and my dad loved these!
I need to get some. I didn't realise they still do them. I'm so excited

Don't be. They've discontinued them 😫

Just found this thread after looking for this classic dessert myself. Sadly it is discontinued now. Does anyone have a recipe for it at all?

@forfuckssakewhatsthisnow I was in M&S today and your thread randomly jumped into my head so I headed straight to the chilled desserts 😁I’m usually a chocolate only kinda lady but I have to say this is pretty tasty- pure golden syrup deliciousness on the bottom!

The syrup sponge desserts are £2.10 for an individual pot, yes it's 150g, but that's because it's heavy, it's still just the size of an individual yoghurt! Severely overpriced.

Nice with some raspberries on top, if you have them 😊

@Jourdain11 Yep that one Smile thank you!

They've got them in my (small) local M&S Food, but I think they must be high popularity because there are often none left in the evening!

Well that's 2 syrup sponge trifles sat in my basket now...!

Gherkingreen · 18/04/2023 16:57

Syrup sponge puddings, food of the gods. They don't taste quite as good as they used to sadly, back in the 90s - maybe they use artificial sweetener these days?

You mean in individual pots? I've never tried one but I've seen them in other supermarkets.
