I made this

Add a little orange zest for a lovely orange Bird’s Custard and it goes really well with a chocolate pudding.

Serves 4

What you need:

  • Bird’s Custard Powder
  • sugar
  • milk
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 4 thick slices of chocolate cake
  • 4 dessert bowls

via Asda, Sainsbury's,
Tesco and Ocado

How to make it:

  1. Make up 4 portions of Bird’s Custard as directed on the pack
  2. Sir through the orange zest
  3. Place a slice of chocolate cake into each bowl and pour over the hot orange custard.

Hints and tips:

  • Make up the custard slightly thicker, allow to cool and use to make a mandarin trifle serve with a layer of jelly, mandarins and whipped cream.
  • Try making a tropical custard using lime zest and serve with a coconut macaroon.
