This was rather a good find in the Tesco Local near me. These are about the size of a Mini Magnum and there are four in a pack. Whilst the Ferrero Rocher chocolates aren’t gluten free, these ice cream bars don’t have any wafer in them, and there isn’t a ‘may contain’ statement on the ingredients either – winner!
Inside the chocolate and nut exterior, they have a hazelnut flavoured ice cream with a chocolate and hazelnut swirl through it – a welcome treat in the garden last weekend.
I have surpassed myself! Very pleased with this little invention and only minutes to make. Fantastic little gluten free treat that’s also pretty low in sugar.
I have been in love with the Eat Natural Peanut and Popcorn bar since I discovered it a few months ago. Last night I was inspired to make my own version using salted popcorn for a salty and sweet flavour.
I mixed in a bowl (and these are approximate amounts):
I then melted some Green & Black’s 70% chocolate (about 16 pieces so roughly 50g?) and stirred it into the mix before packing it into a container to set. I also added an extra grind of salt on the top because I couldn’t resist.
10 mins or so in the fridge and it was ready to cut into pieces. I cut it into 8, which I calculate to have 4g sugar per piece. Over half of that is from the raisins so I think it’s rather virtuous…
I discovered a new favourite treat that I wanted to share. These ice cream mochi balls by Little Moons are VERY good indeed.
For those not in the know, mochi balls are a Japanese dessert. They consist of balls of ice cream (or other confectionary) wrapped in a layer of soft, pounded, sticky rice cake (that’s the mochi part). It’s difficult to describe it and make it sound good, but it’s slightly sweet and gives the ice cream ball a bit of chew. It’s also the perfect consistency for all those lovely sesame seeds to cling to.
I really love sesame ice cream but it’s quite unusual so I was very excited to find these. They are just the right size for a little sweet treat, although I had to be very restrained not to eat all 6 at once!
They come in a variety of other flavours that I haven’t tried, all of which are gluten free (mango, vanilla, matcha green tea, raspberry and coconut). But then I’m more than happy with the sesame.
Little Moons are available from Ocado, but I found them in the freezer section of Waitrose.
