Chocolate Custard!

[kabir]

Is it me or does chocolate Custard seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth , well ok ok just all the retailers here in durban and greater Jhb....

I wonder what happened, surely demand was significant enough

Used to find it at my local pick n pay until a couple months ago, but sadly not anymore. I dont understand why they don't offer it anymore either, cos literally 2 days after restocking the shelves, all the stock would be sold.

Edit: its still available at pnp online, so maybe the demand at these stores are not that great?

Maybe because it tasted just like chocolate mousse.

Shouldnt be too hard, just add cocoa powder to vanilla custard?

Correct, two things to remember is that cacao is bitter. I add castor sugar to balance it out and mix it with hot water to dissolve before adding to my custard and I also make my custard a bit runnier, because when you add the cacao it gets even thicker.

good hint but convenience isn't the same as buying a completed product .....the pnp stuff is marginal ok
