It's something akin to frosting, I believe. It was probably used to glaze cakes and puddings if one didn't have/want to waste the good liquor or cream.
Emergency Cream (Recipe from the Imperial War Museum's collection)
"Bring 1/2 pint of water to blood heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted margarine in it. Sprinkle in 3 heaped tbsp household milk powder, beat well, then whisk thoroughly. Add 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Leave to get cold."
Let me know if you want the wartime Christmas pudding recipe too.
