The packaging was very colourful and the consensus was that the chocolate cheesecake looked the most appetising. This was the one the children were most keen to try anyway. However, the purple packaging of the blackcurrant flavour was rather garish and made it look cheap and artificial. The defrosting instructions were clear and we liked the pop-up action which released the cheesecakes from their plastic container without squashing them. The tray would be useful to repackage any leftovers for storage in the fridge too. Once out, the blackcurrant and raspberry flavours looked best, but the strawberry had a watery topping of strawberries in a jelly which looked very processed. Tastewise, the biscuit bases didn't go down well as they were too sweet. The blackcurrant and raspberry flavours again got the most favourable reaction, as the swirls of tangy fruit flavouring offset the sweetness of the filling. Surprisingly, the least popular variety was the chocolate flavour, which unfortunately produced comments such as tastes like dirt' from 11-year-old Alistair. The strawberry cheesecake was marginally better, but the topping tasted as artificial as it looked. In general, the cheesecakes were too sweet and tasted of chemicals, so it was no surprise to see that the ingredient list featured mostly chemicals with the main ingredient being water. There was a small amount of cheese at the bottom of the list. I'm afraid there was very little interest in buying these again. Overall we were not impressed with the taste. At £1.99 they are at the cheaper end of the ready-made frozen desert range, but even this wouldn't tempt us. {{P&P }}
