Tried and Tasted: Low Calorie Frozen Desserts

All of these frozen desserts are under 150 calories, but which taste best? The WLR taste team find out.

 

Frozen Desserts

 

It's very easy to undo the good intentions of a calorie controlled meal by giving in to a high-fat dessert. We give our opinions on some of the lower calorie frozen treats available on the high street.

Asda Good For You! Chocolate Marshmallow Dessert

Like a frozen version of a chocolate mousse; only with chewy marshmallow pieces to give it a more substantial mouth presence. This was the team's favourite as soon as they saw it. A great effort from Asda.

Waitrose Perfectly Balanced Raspberry Iced Dessert Sundae

Very light, melts quickly in the mouth. With a 'whipped meringue'-like appearance. Good flavour and nice texture; fluffy and refreshing.

Tesco Healthy Living Chocolate and Vanilla Sundae

The appearance of the Tesco topping concerned some testers: not yellow enough to be custard, not white enough to be cream. Though, on tasting they were rewarded with a very light, refreshing mousse. The chocolate underneath was also very good. Maybe not remarkable enough to score higher.

Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Brownie

This was the most immediately appealing dessert in the test; big, nicely presented and with various layers and textures. However, behind all this it was actually quite plain. The ice cream layer lacked flavour and only the "brownie" part was notable for being nice and moist.

Slim-Fast Vanilla and Strawberry Mini Tub

A frozen yoghurt with jelly-like sauce; according to our tasters. For some this was too artificial and syrupy sweet flavoured. But it is likely to gain a few supporters.

Weight Watchers Chocolate with Honeycomb Pieces

Very small compared to the others; not a full-sized dessert at all. Not particularly chocolaty and the honeycomb pieces idea did not work at all. Left an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

Conclusion

There was little to choose between these in terms of calorie and fat content; although they were slightly higher in the Weight Watchers and Slim-Fast. When it came to tasting, though, Asda and Waitrose were the clear winners. Both excellent as low calorie choices for satisfying, indulgent desserts.
