A possible diet breaker, but very good!

We've tried these little puds this week Phoenix They are indeed delicious, especially the chocolate one. DH and I shared one each day, so didn't feel too guilty The little pots would be useful for tea lights etc.

What a lovely idea, and 'mini' you say. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Methinks perhaps I should be posting on the comfort eating thread ... .

Diet breaker? What diet...? [blush} We don't go mad on puddings, but we do like cake!!! Bought eggs when I didn't need them at Aldi this week ... already had 12 ... quantity of butter sugar and flour - not to mention cocoa powder also needed 'using'. Result: 3 x chocolate fudge cakes. In my defence we gave one and half away ...

my fav in Lidl is the lemon ice dessert , but it doesn't come in a fancy glass dish !!

Those pistachio and ginger ice creams are divine.

Aldi do lovely ? little 'luxury' yoghurts, the coconut and lime and strawberry and rose are gorgeous. As are their small pistachio and ginger ice creams ( abi like mini magnums) And I kid myself I don't have a sweet tooth ! ,

We only have 'pud' on a Sunday if I can be bothered but today, after a long stint in the garden and feeling a bit tired and hay ferverish I considered the healthy option and thought, NAH!

willsmadnan I do need to lighten up by losing about 5 kgs

I'm not one of the "health police" - as I explained, I'm taking more notice than usual due to said research programme.

I am not a great fan of yoghurts, but Asda sells some in big pots, by The Collective, which are delicious. Unfortunately they are full fat and sugar, which is probably why I can eat a whole 450gm pot over a day. The flavours are rhubarb and custard, raspberry, mango, raspberry trifle and fudge.I have tried them all over the last couple of weeks !
One mini dessert would never be enough for me. Assuming the Lidl ones come as several in a pack, the others would call me from the fridge!

phoenix I will not be popping in any time soon to sample the goodies because thankfully I do not like desserts. An icecream on a stick is the closest I will get to one.

OMG Merlotgran I am probably like your daughter and would prefer the pineapple on its own.

DD has just popped in with half a fresh pineapple. She's on a healthy eating kick and thought we might enjoy it for tea.

Too right we did....after I'd sliced and griddled it, added a good slosh of rum, a dash of ginger puree and a spoonful of maple syrup.

Calories? What calories?

Lidl's De Luxe mini ice creamns (like little Magnums) are also lovely. My DH loves chocolate ice cream and swears that Lidls' is the best he's ever had.

Cosafina, Willsmadnan totally agree

Well said willsmadnan - I've decided I'm less likely to lie on my deathbed saying 'I wish I were thinner' and much more likely to lie there thinking 'Wish I'd had another Twix'

Lidl do a delicious creme brulee and the little glass pots have lots of uses soaking my nails when doing my home manicure is latest one

I might buy one so that I can decorate said pot, and use it to soak my daily almond ration. They are so tasty when they have been soaked for a few hours. (I soak in water, but I am sure some of you might be more inventive.....)
Currently I use a little plastic pot but glass would be more classy!!

# I Did It My Way...

Oh Grannyknot lighten up ! There comes a time (ie 74) when all this fat/sugar/alcohol watching becomes a bore. What's wrong with a treat? Do I spend my declining years nibbling on a rice cake whilst wearing a hair shirt or indulge myself? And before you pull me up on it, I don't intend to be a burden on the NHS, I've already decided I won't prolong my life with invasive treatment or medication. I'll just have the occasional treat and a nightly G&T ( or 2) and shuffle off in my own way.

There are some cute glass jars with youghut type desserts at the minute would make a lovely collection when empty,such a pity so many of them are full of the nasties

phoenix I have had to keep a meticulous food diary because I am involved in a nutritional research programme and that meant I had to scrutinise all labels and record contents and quantities. Happily (I thought) the "lidl" desserts would look good on the page. Suffice to say that one of those tiny desserts contain a helluva lot of the bad stuff (sugar and fat) given their size

Sorry.
Did mean in the cupboard after eating sharing the desserts

On pintrest they mix old nail varnish with water and then dip glasses into the solution.
it makes a nice marble effect

Oh, they sound lovely, but we don't have a Lidl anywhere near us.??
