dr.bob2, IMO all you need to do is make some good old Edmond's custard with some added cocoa, or if you're feeling more decadent, add some chocolate and reduce the sugar to avoid making the custard too sweet.
CUSTARD – from the Edmond’s Custard Powder packet 2 tbsp custard powder 1 tbsp sugar 2 cups milk
or an alternative is to use Gregg's Seameal Custard mix and make the chocolate version of it (instructions for both the plain and chocolate versions can usually be found on the packet). :-))

And given custard powder is mostly cornflour, you could just make 1T cocoa, 1T of cornflour, 1-2 T sugar mixed with 1 C milk and then bring it to a simmer stirring constantly till thick.
I wouldn't know - I use Birds Custard Powder (UK brand) and I think it has powdered egg in it.If I was making a custard from scratch without custard powder and trying to turn it into something close to dairy food I'd make a custard with egg yolks
NB:I stand corrected - their blanc mange mix had egg powder but the custard powder didn't because it was invented by Alfred Bird so that his wife, who was allergic to eggs, could have it.

Sarahb5, Where do you buy your Birds custard powder! My (welsh) Nana always used this, the last couple of times I've had a custard craving and attempted to make some with edmonds I have been quite disappointed with it.

Countdown and sometimes you can buy it on here - I'd rather go without custard than use Edmonds or any other brand

I don't think you'd be able to find the chemicals that are in the product! ;-)
