Powdered for quick mixing, this just-add-water formula only needs a kettle and a whisk to turn into a smooth sauce for puddings, crumbles, or pie. It's part of a simple dessert range where speed takes priority over cooking from scratch, and the process takes under a minute from packet to pouring jug. Because it's made with dried ingredients, the texture is usually lighter and thinner than a version cooked with milk and egg on the hob. You won't get the same richness as a proper egg-based recipe, but it coats a slice of sponge or apple crumble well enough. Stored in the cupboard at room temperature, it keeps for months and works as a reliable backup when you haven't planned dessert.
