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

[forfuckssakewhatsthisnow]

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?

Was it frozen?

No, in the chilled section. In a single serving size pot.

Definitely not creme caramel, which is what comes up when I try to google!

YES!! I can't remember any more about it than what you've said but it was a mainstay when I was growing up. Haven't seen it for many, many years now but I can taste it so clearly. It came in individual pots, didn't it?

That is going to drive u bonkers till you remember it🙄

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

Oh I love it

Syrup sponge custard in a pot

Like a sundae? A toffee or caramel sundae?

Viennois?

I think this is it!!!

But do they still sell it? I hadn't seen it on the shelves for years?

Caramel surprise still available in Waitrose? Also Sainsburys.

@forfuckssakewhatsthisnow yep- they sure do, I had one about 2 months ago.

Was delish!

This one?

millionaire's pudding?

Omg I am disproportionately happy that I can one day eat this again! Thank you!

@Jourdain11 Yep that one thank you!

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?

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

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!

Dammit I want this now! 😩

I am definitely looking for this pudding in M&S tomorrow - everything I like in a pot!!!

Thanks OP and thread detectives 😀

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

Glad some new people will be trying this dessert, it's so good hope you all enjoy!

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.

@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!

Haha @crackersforcrackers I'm chuffed for you and delighted to have played a part in spreading syrupy joy!
