In South Africa, they serve the Malva Pudding with custard that comes in a box. My husband loved the custard in a box, but unfortunately I can not find it in the stores here in my little town in New Mexico.

When it comes to these British style desserts, I
ReplyDeletenever know the difference between a cake and a pudding, but this sounds good. I am lucky and can easily get a bunch of products from the UK here, but they are still very expensive. So I love the idea of using the pudding mix.
Not a British dessert at all, I am South Afircan born and this a classic Afrikaans dessert
DeleteYou are so fortunate that you have access to international ingredients! If my local grocery store doesn't carry a product, my only option is to purchase it on line or find a substitution.
ReplyDeleteI thought Malva pudding was closer to Cape Brandy pudding than this but I see I am wrong!! Looks delicious though. Diane
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I had Malva Pudding. We usually have Melk Tart.
DeleteI'm with Bo and never have figure out the difference either, with a pudding and a cake. You always hear about plum pudding at Christmas, but I'm not sure if it's a little soft and mushy or what. We have those products here in this tiny town--a great ethnic mix of people in Chicagoland, but I've never bought them and tried them. You stated how much your hubby likes this, what about you, Linda? :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked it too! You are so lucky to have access to so many ingredients! My understanding of the difference between a pudding and a cake is, a pudding is eaten warm with some kind of custard and a cake has frosting. My son lived in England for six months and that is what he was told by some locals.
DeleteoooOOOooo. I love cakes that have a good sticky top and this one looks extra good with the sauce!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love cakes with a good sticky top and this one looks extra tasty with the sauce. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI love pudding, it's so easy to make and no-one makes it any more (except me - LOL)!!! Thank you for sharing this great recipe! I can't wait to try it, I know it will be a huge hit!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out "Bo's Bowl" I already follow Pam! Man, can that woman cook! Love her blog too!
Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing the Malva pudding recipe from South Africa. It seems like you tried as hard as you could to make it close as possible.
ReplyDeleteOMG it looks so good...this is fat-free right? :)
ReplyDeleteMy mother use to make this for me a lot, it is pretty much my favourite South African Dessert, I have made this pudding a couple of days ago and have savoured it till this morning. My Australian partner loves this dessert as well
ReplyDeleteIt's a South African dessert!
