Barratt Fruit Salad Dessert Pots (Iceland) By @Cinabar

Yay, new desserts in Iceland and they are flavoured with traditional Barratt’s sweets. I have picked up these Barratt Fruit Salad Dessert Pots which taste of the raspberry and pineapple wrapped classic sweets. From the look of the tubs I was reminded of some mousses (now there is a plural that sounds wrong) I used to have as a kid. They were in the same shaped tubs and were also bright fruit flavours. Anyone remember them? I looked again at the box and wondered if these “Dessert Pots” were code for fruit mousse, part of me was definitely hoping so.

 

I took the lid off one of the tubs and found a more liquid looking dessert, in a very bright shade of yellow. It isn’t at all subtle, but looked like a bright custard. I gave it a try and as bright as the colour was the flavour is as strong; sweet and fruity. They really do have all that pineapple and raspberry fruit salad flavour from the classic sweets, they are sweet and yet tart but spot on, did I mention they are not subtle.

I noticed though the flavour was like yoghurt. I turned over the box and the ingredients clearly show these are yoghurts. It seems a weird idea to describe yoghurts as “dessert pots” but perhaps they are trying to entice a younger audience who might be put off by the thought of a yoghurt? These are lovely whatever they describe themselves as and I’ll be picking up some other flavours if I can find them.
