We like the Gu (or Gü as I’ll type once for the records) puddings in this house. We have all the ramekins, and they are great for teabags, sauces and you can use Pringle lids to seal them to pop stuff in the fridge!
When a new one appears it’s a guilt free way to generate some reviews by trying a different, yet familiar thing. But this one - this one’s a bit odd.
Billed as Gü (oh it autocorrected!) Plant - Spanish Lemon this is part of a new vegan range - but has cheesecakes written on the box too - but no cheese here! This is great because I dislike cheese.
So far so normal!
Now that looks a little odd - the smell is new and it’s more similar to a milk jelly texture than the traditional cheese cake ones.
This would not be possible with the real cheese Gü product - Luna gave this a sniff before trying to hit it, instead of attempting to eat it. And why is this - it’s because it’s got coconut in with the citrus fruits.
This means it’s more of a coconut mousse than a cheesecake (not a problem), and then the base is odd too. This doesn’t hold together like a normal cheesecake and is pretty much like a sugary crumble. To this end I think they should flip this - call it a lemon crumble or similar and put the fluff on the bottom and the crunch on the top!
So - nice then (very nice) and gluten free AND vegan which is a pretty powerful trifecta. Would buy this again, but not when I’m in the mood for a thick creamy heavy cheese cake, but a light summery desert.
Will have to try the rest of the range now too!
