* strawberry whip ice lollies

I've been looking for new ideas to make ice lollies.
I'd never had thought to make these - what a clever idea! Do you just make them up as per instructions and then pour into the moulds?

Hi sarsie,

We don't often have dessert, if anyone fancies something sweet after a meal they can help themselves to fruit or yoghurt or have something from the baking tin.

Cheapish deserts I can think of are rice pudding, quick microwave sponge puddings, baked apples, or fruit crumbles and cobblers made from tinned fruit or fruit that is about to turn. Give jelly a twist by making it with milk or adding value tinned fruit.

This thread has lots of inexpensive dessert ideas that may help:

I'll add your thread to it later to keep the suggestions together.

Fresh fruit in season

:eek: Nooo fruit doesn't count! I was relying on replacing most of my other sugar fixes with strawberries and melon, you can't have fruit counting I'll cry!

Why not forget about dessert altogether - except perhaps one day a week? You don't need the dessert, you just want it.

Fill up on extra green veg with the main course.... just as good a way of getting your five a day and there's no added sugar...

Crying now! Like a 3 year old!

I neeeeeeeed my sweet fix, need it, will die of dehydration (from crying) without it! Got to get it! Must! Need to! Can't live without dessert! Is cruelty to Sarsies! Should be illegal! Noooooooooooooo :rotfl:

Ok but seriously, getting rid of dessert isn't on the cards. Nope. Never. Just spending less on it.

Pancakes. Lemon and sugar for tradition, or butter and sugar, or fruit, or chocolate sauce, or icecream. Just think of the varieties in a French creperie.

You don't need the dessert, you just want it...and there is a prob with wanting something??? do you not want something and have it??

Poor mans upside down pudding

Drain a [14p] tin of Sainsburys Basic Pineapple Chunks and empty into the bottom of baking dish. Add 1-2 tablespoons of golden syrup. Top with a basics or HM sponge mix and bake until sponge is golden. Turn out upside down onto a plate and serve with Basics Instant custard [9p] Bliss!

Apple with elderberries/brambles/blackcurrants or rhubarb crumble

Rice pud in the slow cooker is heaven - especially with a handful of sultana ...lovely pud!

OK... just thought of this so I've never tried it but I'll be giving it a go tomorrow if I manage to go to the supermarket.

I seem to be in a Horlicks/Malteser phase at the moment and with all the Angel Delight ideas I wondered what this would be like...

Vanilla flavoured 'instant pudding' with a couple of spoons of Horlicks mixed in to the dry mix (I would guess dry???). Maybe over some malted milk/digestives/hobnob biscuits and then some crushed Maltesers over the top. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Sounds good on paper but until I've tried it I don't know!

I've just found some 'vanilla pudding' that I bought from the giant Tesco in Prague last year but it's taken me ages to translate the instructions from a Czech to English website that it's getting late now, plus it's a 'cooked' version like blancmange rather than instant.
Now there's a pudding... blancmange! I'm a skin lover too!
