Bonne Maman Baba Au Rhum/Rum Baba (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Bonne Maman Baba Au Rhum/Rum Baba

I might be doing the opposite to a lot of people with healthy New Year’s resolutions, but I want to try out a few more desserts. I realised I had gotten out of the habit of having puddings and desserts and instead having a little bit of chocolate later in the evening. This led me to having a look at the dessert section in the supermarket, and fancying a treat, I went premium and picked up this box of Bonne Maman Baba Au Rhum, also known as Rum Baba.

Inside the tub are round pieces of sponge, topped with cream, and soaked in a rum sauce. I started gently by trying the cream and sponge, and I thought it was quite nice. I then dug in and went for the sponge and a lot of the liquid, and I couldn’t decide if I liked the flavour. The taste was like rum but also had an aftertaste, something I just didn’t gel with. The more I ate, the more I realised I wasn't keen. I actually stopped eating the dessert and didn’t finish it. I know people have different taste buds and like different things, and this Bonne Maman Baba Au Rhum just wasn’t for me. Oh well, that means I can have a walnut whip while watching Traitors in a bit.
