Tesco: Raspberry Sorbet

Haven't been on the blog for a while now, lazy, but here's something to get your taste-buds going. This is one of my favourite frozen things in a tub, it's just so good. The raspberry flavour is really nice and strong, the texture is light and fluffy, and I can't really say anything bad about it. There's no bits, in case you were wondering, and it leaves a clean aftertaste. I like it best when it's starting to melt - try it for yourself. This is 5/5 for me!

Cat and the Cream: Cupcakes review

Ok so here's a mini review, today I'm having some cupcakes. Cat and the Cream (notice I can't use the 'and' symbol in blogger) make a variety of different flavours which can be found on their website. I've tried the Chocolate, Pear Hazelnut + Choc Chip, Banana Walnut + Choc Chip with Butterscotch, and the Chocolate Coconut with Raspberry. And as it says in small writing on the package it's best to leave these out of the fridge for 30+ mins before eating it. Otherwise their a bit hard and cold. These cakes have almost as much icing as there is sponge, which may be a bit much for some people. But you don't have to eat it all, and it's better than being under iced. The icing is very sweet though, and I mean really sweet, even if you have a sweet tooth. The icing also has a little thing or two in it at the top like a chocolate swirl or nut etc, which is nice. There is also things in the sponge (not sure if true of all cakes but most), like nuts or banana pieces. In a nicer way than it sounds. Because the icing is so tall, and the sponge quite moist, they are quite messy or tricky to eat properly. Your fingers will get sticky, and icing will go on your nose/beard.
But they're fun and quite nice to eat. I found the pear one didn't have much of pear taste, but the chocolate was really like eating a classic chocolate cake. The banana butterscotch one is also very good, although I have to be up for it, because its so rich and sweet. It's deceivingly small, in that you might find one is more than enough. So yes I will recommend these as a treat, with a good 4/5.

Just Wholefoods: Strawberry Flavoured Jelly Crystals

This is delicious and highly recommended vegan jelly mix. All you need is to mix the powder in boiling water and leave to set. The result is a jelly with both a sweet and strong flavour but also one that tastes quite natural. Which is good. The density and flavour though will depend on how much water you use. I use just a tiny bit less than recommended to concentrate it up a bit. And it works with large jelly moulds too. They also sell lemon, raspberry and tropical jelly. I haven't tried lemon as I don't think I'd care for it, but I've the other two and raspberry is just a nice, with the tropical I didn't enjoy it quite as much I think the flavour was a bit weaker or less sweet.
4/5

Swedish Glace: Peak

Mmm, these are good. I'm eating one as a type, which is hard, so I've made a makeshift holder but will not say how. Anyway... I'm quite impressed with these, though they're not perfect, they are very nice indeed. Start with the flaws, like most ready made cones the cones are chewy, which I personally don't mind but sometimes a crunchy one can be nicer to add a depth of texture. And the raspberry sauce is always bang on one side at the top and a bit more frozen than the raspberry tub. There are also some nuts and chocolate on the top. To me the chocolate doesn't really add anything other looks, but the nuts are ok. Again not quite as they would be fresh.
On the good side, the flavour is awesome, and the ice cream isn't really that drippy. I think the cone is also chocolate lined, maybe to help it stop getting soggy, and there's a nice crunchy bit at the bottom. I'll certainly be buying them again. 4/5

Swedish Glace: Juicy Raspberry

If you like raspberry ripple ice-cream, this is it. I cannot fault this, it's simply amazing. Swedish Glace do an amazing job, this is basically a vanilla ice-cream with raspberry sauce running through it (no bits in case you were wondering) which sounds kind of... simple, but it's perfection. It's the kind of thing you don't stop eating until you feel sick because you've eaten too much. And this guy is 750ml, so probably not a good idea to try and eat it all. Texture is rich and creamy, and the flavour is sweet in a creamy and fruity way (much different to the Tofutti one which tasted artificial).

5/5
