Pudding and dessert recipes

The cheapest thing i found when the kids were little was home made ice lollys, they cost pennies to make. or a cheap tub of ice-cream can last weeks if served in cones

Hi, we have milk jelly as a pud always popular, dissolve 2 x 7p value jellies, make up to 1pint mark with cold water to cool add 1 tin of evaporated milk (50p), rinse tin out to bring the pudding mixture upto 2pints. Pour into individual bowls (we use yoghurt pots makes a few puds:D) sets quite quickly.
Also so if you have a little stewed fruit puree it and add to a pint of thick custard and make your own fruit fool, we used to make this by pureeing a tin of strawberries through a sieve but any fruit would do.

the tesco version of strawberry angel delight, called value strawberry whip, is either 6 or 8p a packet, we taste tested it against angel delight and find it the same. Obviously not as healthy as fruit and homemade things, but if you were going to buy whip anyway then this is the way to go in our house.

i love the frozen banana dipped in chocolate idea, might have to try that one in the summer

In the home baking section of the supermarket, you will find 'chocolate flavoured cake covering' or similar - this is much cheaper than normal chocolate as it doesn't contain much cocoa butter

value brand chocolate has a higher cocoa content, and is actually cheaper than chocolate 'flavoured' cake covering

I agree, I always use Tesco or Asda value chocolate for baking, I'm not keen on the taste of "chocolate" cake covering.

Try an own brand basic cake mixture - cheaper than baking with all the ingredients. Put some icing on top - a cake is born!

Or make up the cake mixture but put slices of apple, pineapple or tinned fruit or anything else you can get your hands on at the bottom then flip over to serve with some custard.

value tins of fruit or raisins on the rice pudding for a bit of variety!

toast with cinammon and sugar on

yoghurt and they get to add choc buttons in

baking muffins/cupcakes together could be fun and tasty!

LOL my mother used to make sugar sandwiches and I ate condensed milk on bread as a child

Puds here are :

HM yoghurt - 8 yoghurts from 1 pint milk, I've been reusing the last yoghurt for the next batch for months now ...
Jelly
Fruit
Cake or HM muffins
Custard

Once you can forage fruit pick as much as you can for free puds - we still have blackberries and I made tons of apple and pear compotes and froze those.
Rhubarb crumble as well if you can get rhubarb from someone.
