Did you have school dinners in the UK?
If so, do you remember the 'mock cream' we were given on/with desserts? Well, I've just found the recipe for this that my mother gave me years ago. It tastes exactly as I remember. The recipe does call for overnight refrigeration, so bear this in mind if you decide to have a go at it.
Mock Cream
Ingredients:
8oz (200g) dried skimmed milk powder
Half pint (250ml) water
2oz (50g) caster sugar
Half teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
In a heatproof bowl, mix the milk powder into the water, and cook over a saucepan of boiling water until thick, stirring now and again (15-20 mins after the water comes to the boil).
Keep in the refrigerator overnight, covering the surface closely with damp parchment (or greaseproof) paper to prevent a skin forming.
Next day, whisk the cream with the caster sugar until thick and creamy. Add the vanilla extract.
