'Dessert' yoghurts from Müller

Yoghurts that are dressed up like desserts... loads of them out there to choose from but the new range from Müller Light Goodies is FABLISS! BUT my oh my are they causing a storm to PP them!  100g is 2PP but they are packaged as 107g BUT if you weight them, some of them aren't! So my tip... if you're an OCD freak like me... weigh them out... or just don't eat the last spoonful and you'll only have spent 2PP! I've used the toffee one to make a WW friendly banoffee dessert just for me! (recipe will follow! ridiculously simple!) ... I've included two of their other ranges that are out at the moment!

These are all 0PP (they're all under 15cals per pot!) or 1PP for two, which you might need depending on what you're making! I use two in my curry but they're SO full of flavour... *drools*

'Tropical' Eton mess

So the holiday blues are settling in and with the GLORIOUS weather I had to keep the tropical momentum going... so Eton Mess with a tropical twist... made in minutes and SOOOOOO good! 


Whats in it?

1 Meringue nest - 1PP per person
1 scoop of Vanilla ice cream
    I've used Vanilla & Coconut Dairy Free from Nobo for 2PP 
    but you can use your fav ice cream and if you want to keep the 
    Propoints even lower try the Zero PP banana ice cream
    the original recipe is >>> HERE <<< 

ZERO HEROS
Tinned pineapple in juice (NOT IN SYRUP!)

A squeeeeeze of Coconut Choc Shot

    I've only used a drizzle but if you use more you can PP like this... 

1 tsp, 5g - 0PP

2 tsp 10g - 1PP 

3 tsp 15g - 1PP

4 tsp 20g - 2PP

Total ProPoints for the recipe - 3PP

Total ProPoints per portion - 3PP

How?

Set up your glass of choice, I've gone all hipster with this one... 

If you're not using fresh pineapple, drain your tinned and save the juice for a smoothie!

Pop it into your glass... 

Get your meringues... 

Layer them on top...  see what I mean by easy!

Top off with your ice cream, yoghurt etc... 

And a squeeze of Coconut Choc shot... et voila!

I squeezed my choc shot on top but if you wanna get all fancy pants... 

drizzle it down the sides before you start layering 

and you'll get some in every mouthful! 

A shot of rum wouldn't be a bad idea either! ahem... 

Enjoy! x
