to make when we were kids.From memory, she would make a custard and added a jelly to it! or used the jelly as part of the mix with the custard!. I remember especially the raspberry flavoured one she used to make! Any ideas what this may be called! It was served cold as a summer dessert.

I immediately thought of Spanish Cream from the Edmond's book and there are two versions of that in there, one with Gelatine, and the other with jelly crystals.Then below that is Special jelly, which has milk and water, and egg whites.

elsielaurie1, was the recipe from the Edmond's book!Melrose Cream or something like that I believe.:-))
Edited to add. Edmond's "MELROSE CREAM Equal quantities of custard made with custard powder and liquid jelly made with jelly crystals.Mix together when cool and set in a wet mould. An attractive dish can be made by surrounding the mould with different coloured jellies from small moulds - egg cups will do.":-))

Melrose cream is in the Edmonds book, that's with custard powder and jelly crystals.

My mum used milk instead of water with her jelly to make "milk jelly" just for a bit of variety - not sure why though as I love jelly and so does she!She always used to make blancmange for parties too, in the rabbit mould, but the ears never came out!I have no idea what the difference is and I never liked it anyway because of the skin .

Aha -thank you,but by hunting through my books I've found my Mum's recipe, in her writing, in her old recipe book'1 cup of milk made into a custard. Not a thick custard. When boiling add a jelly and 1 c of hot water. Stir until dissolved. Can be beaten with egg beater'.memories.than- ks so much. All I needed was to know what to look for.

I too, remember my Mum making that dessert for us from her trusty old Edmond's book - those old books sure did have some good easy recipes for the Mums of yesteryear.:-))
