[Review] Coop Strawberry Rose cones

A while ago Co-op had these Strawberry Rose cones for Valentines day but I couldn't find them.
I didn't think they would restock them as Valentines day had already past.

On a recent visit in May, I was surprised to see them again so without hesitation I got them.
Coop Strawberry Rose Cones






They were so pretty so I ended up taking so many pictures before I ate it.
The cones were beautiful in the silver paper foil wrap as it went really well with the pink colour rose ice cream.
The rose ice cream was well protected by the dome shaped lid.







What was great about the Strawberry rose cones was that not only was it so beautiful but it tasted good.

Usually I am not confident with strawberry flavoured ice creams but the strawberry tasted natrual like freshly blended strawberry milkshake.
Beneath the strawberry icecream, the rest if vanilla icecream which gives it a nice balance in terms of colour and flavour.
The cone was green which my be off putting for some but as a food blogger, green is every where these days because of matcha and there are frankly more off putting colourful things these days like unicorn etc.

Overall, I was more than impressed with these Co-op Strawberry rose cones which are a must try!
Update May 2021:
A year later, they now sell these rose cones individually which makes sense because its quality and not quantity and great on a hot day if you are just out and about and want some ice cream without buying a box of four.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Count On Us Strawberry & raspberry Sundae

Marks and Spencers Count On Us Strawberry & raspberry Sundae is layers of strawberry and white chocolate mousse with raspberry compote and decorations.
It was actually quite ice because the strawberry mousse is natrual followed by a creamy fluffy white chocolate mousse contrasted by the tart raspberry compote at the bottom.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Cornish Puff Pastry Pasties

I love Cornish Pasties which are normally made with shortcrust pastry.
However, I decided to try Marks and Spencers Cornish Puff Pastry Pasties because it is made with puff pastry hence it won't be so heavy.
As well as the pleasing light pastry, the filling was equally as good.
I really enjoyed it because there was black pepper which livened it up and made it moreish.




[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen Dirty Fries

The Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen range is really impressive, there is so much on offer ranging from pizzas, burgers, pies to desserts.
I liked the idea of fries but I was hesitant on buying the Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen Dirty Fries because I wasn't sure how the fries would turn out in the oven because if they have been fried beforehand then the texture won't come out good but if the fries are raw then the texture of the fries might get a bit crunchy after it has been baked.

Anyway, I decided to try it because of the sauce and it was surprisingly good.

There were a few fries that had that raw/crispy texture I was anticipating but overall the sauce was amazing because it was cheesy with a fiery kick from the spices and chilli.
The sauce was a heavenly blend of tomato bechamel sauce which was thick and gooey brought alive by the bay leaf and nutmeg.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen 3 Cheeze Stonebaked Pizza

The Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen range is really impressive, there is so much on offer ranging from pizzas, burgers, pies to desserts.
I was definitely up for trying the Marks and Spencers Plant Kitchen 3 Cheeze Stonebaked Pizza to see how it compares with other restaurant quality plant based cheese pizzas that I have previously tried at Purezza and Young Vegans.

I felt that this pizza was the one I had been looking for because the ones at the restaurants were too fancy and the one here only costs  ‎£4.






Although it is a bit more expensive than your regular meat pizza but it is made with coconut based cheese.

While it was in the oven, the cheeze behaved like regular dairy cheese as it melted and bubbled.
In a way it was expected because the quality of vegan cheese these days is really competitive since other brands do the same like Violife which M&S also stock.


When the pizza was ready, there was a strong cheesy smell.
Tasting a bite, I was impressed because the taste and texture was just like melted cheddar except that it was gooey, soft and sticky.
Comparing it to the restaurant ones, I definitely prefer this one because it was more basic so I could appreciate the cheesy taste and the rich tomato base.

The only downside is that the saturated fat on this pizza is quite high which I didn't realize until someone pointed it out on youtube.
Half the pizza is 53% of your daily saturated allowance which means you might have to watch out what you eat for the rest of the day.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Chocolate Trifle

Traditional trifle is jelly, custard, sponge with cream on top.
These days, there are so many other versions like chocolate trifle.
At Marks and Spencers they offer the traditional trifle, best ever trifle, chocolate trifle and the sticky toffee trifle.

This time I had the Marks and Spencers Chocolate Trifle which has layers of chocolate custard, chocolate flavoured sponge and chocolate mousse, topped with fresh whipped cream and milk chocolate curls.

With triple chocolate, you would think it would be quite sickly but it wasn't because all the layers are different in different ways like the chocolate custard which is creamy, then the mousse which is light.

Overall, the chocolate trifle lets you enjoy chocolate in three different ways so I really recommend this.





[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Triple Chocolate Sundae

The Triple Chocolate Sundae is one of those desserts that you would have tried if you live in the UK but again I have never posted it so posting it now.
The Marks and Spencers version of  the Triple Chocolate Sundae is layers of milk chocolate mousse, Belgian chocolate sauce and Belgian white chocolate mousse topped with whipped cream and finished with chocolate brownie and dark chocolate curls.

The mousse part is pretty standard but I love the piece of chocolate brownie which is soft and rich to start with and then it's mousse and two thirds of it is white chocolate mousse which is quite creamy but not cloyingly sweet.

Will definitely try the toffee sundae as well as the toffee mousse should be good.'
