Gu Mixology Strawberry Daiquiri (Asda) By @Cinabar

We love Gu for their at home luxury desserts, and I think I may have found a new summer flavour. The weather has been quite nice today (excusing the occasional rain shower), there has been a fairly blue sky, and perhaps spring is on the way. Strawberries mean summer, right?

We decided to try out one of the new Gu Mixology desserts, which are based on cocktails. This one is Gu Mixology Strawberry Daiquiri, and is a cheesecake with strawberries, rum, and lime on a red biscuit base. The desserts may have been tilted at some point, as the strawberry layer on top did seem to have slid a little. Thankfully, it won’t affect the taste.

I gave it a try and could see all the lovely layers once the spoon dug in. The top layer is like a sweet strawberry jam, but there is a warming flavour of rum throughout. The cheesecake layer is creamy and tasty, and the cooking biscuit crumble was good but couldn’t have been a little crunchier. The taste does develop as you eat, and you can pick up on lime mixed in too. It does feel very summery as a pudding, but it is also absolutely yummy. I’ll enjoy the first days of spring with these and try out the other flavours too.
