Hi all, was wondering if anyone can help, ive been trying to think of a yummy school dessert i had back 1994 (ish) its a pastry bottom with a thick thick gooey yellow looking topping, sometimes was topped with coconut sprinkles, would anyone have a clue what im going on about? i would love to try and find the receipe, so far someones come up with 'creme patissiere' but this is more like a filling for eclairs etc.. the 'gooey' stuff im talking about it really really gooey and sweet.
Any help on this would be brilliant! Thanks. Anna x

It was a gooey pink topping where I went

No idea how to make it though, it's probably banned now

good point scunner, it is probably banned! ive been searching the internet and have come up with 'gypsy tart' but im not sure if its the one!?

Is that you or the pudding? Oh I see

You've got me thinking now, what on earth could it have been

Cheeky scunner! I may live in essex but im no tart

Pookie im not sure if its the same. Its a layer of pastry with really thick gooey toffee type custard on top. Ive even been in waterstones to look for the 'dinner lady cookbook' because i thought it may be in there! but alas no luck!

agree with karaokemark, sounds like manchester tart. haven't had it for years, if you find a recipe, pass it on please?
