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 :D
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 :D
You've got me thinking now, what on earth could it have been
-
Lemon curd tart ?
-
We had Manchester Tart pastry base thin layer of jam then thick like custard with co**** on top

was it like a runny version of millionaires shortcake ? yummm... if so its very easy to make Anna....you could have sprinkles on the top or a layer of chocolate ???
-
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! :D
-

-

You can always tell the upper classes
Here we have suggestions, "Manchester Tart", "Gypsy Tart", "Lemon Curd Tart", then of course we have Lady Pookie's "Millionaire's Shortcake" :D

Manchester tart used to have thinly sliced bananas in at our school. Mind you that was the 60,s and before they cut back on fruit and veg!! but it did have a thin layer of jam, custardy topping and sprinkled with coconut. mmmm!!!

Hi nuttybird the gypsy tart i said about originated in Kent so if you went to south London school or kentish i reckon thats it use muscovado sugar.:D:D:D ;)
