Slush Mug

Mmmm! Just made a chocolate milkshake out of chocolate Oatly (HEA) it was heavenly! I had a cheeky squirt of anchor light on top as well - totaly worth 1 syn! x
 
Ah mine just arrived today too, with free strawberry gums which I fed to the OH. I put it in the freezer a few hours ago so gonna test it with Greek 0% with Amaretto Lorann oil mixed in tonight I reckon.

Ha ha yeah Ive been ging on about trying them all week, not got round to it yet :eek: Im not much of dessert person really, more a carbophile :D

Having said that Ive just tried to make that strawberry/coconut/custard thing out of last months mag and totally screwed it up... :sigh: I intended to only make half as theres just the 2 of us, but I only had a 250g thing of custard so bunged it all in, made it up then realised I had nothing remotely suitable to put it in (not being a dessert person and all that). Eventually pulled out some old pots Id kept from a supermarket flan or summat and thought ah, thatll do, but they were so huge it looked really measly after doing the first half of the recipe, so I thought 'Ohhhh sod it, Ill double the portions, still only 7 syns each...' - by the time Id added the strawberries and puree and all the other gubbins it was overflowing, huge, dripping everywhere... had to put the bowl inside-another-bowl...looks like a Megacustard... :confused:

I think Im gonna just pretend its meant to be like that and its a romantic dessert-to-share or something... I dunno, one spoon between us or summat... :rolleyes:

I am so absolutely useless at desserts, they dont suit me. Pass the fish & chips. (Don't forget the scraps).

Yay.... I just got mine today..... Mr has requested I make him a cherry beer slushie for his birthday..... Wonder if it would work :)
 
woohooo just ordered one,cant wait for it to come now...xx
 
After coming across this I ordered a couple from amazon last night
Just been shopping and bought loads of fat free yog - not someting i normally buy cos i find it a bit tangy, and I have a huge sweet tooth.

Erminturde, thanks for the heads up on Lorann oils, i had never heard of these either, so ordered choclolate, peanut, pina colada, and a couple of others - lol might have got a bit carried away

So now awaiting my delivery and going to give this a shot :)

My fav thing is peanut butter and chocolate - drooool, so going to be interesting having a play
 
Oh no! The Peanut butter one is DISGUSTING!!! It smells ok, but just tastes greasy.
 
Shrimpy - really oh booo
It's a conspiracy, every time I think I have found a way to be a bit good whilst enjoying my favourite things it backfires lol
 
I was soooo disappointed. I was so excited at having peanut butter and jam on toast for only a HExB and 1 syn and I had to throw it out!
 
Hmmmmm, unsure. Made myself a mix of Total 0% yogurt, Quark, Splenda and the Amaretto oil - it tasted nice, creamy, sweet and I could smell the Amaretto loads and taste it OK... not sure if I put enough in, maybe another couple of drops next time.

The slush thing Im not sure though, I kept stirring it on and off and not a lot seemed to be happening then it suddenly started to get really thick so I started scoffing it... nice and thick and creamy but once its that cold all the flavour seemed to be gone :( Ill try again with something different tomorrow maybe. And I cant fathom how you can shift the rock solid bit that forms at the bottom. I kept stirring it but it seems that its the bottom that does all the work and I just couldn't stop it freezing totally down there.
Yeah I think this would work better with something more watery, not yogurt.
 
I had the same experience with the Total. I added a tablespoon of my Hershey's syrup to it and it tasted fab, but was just too thick and I found it really difficult to stir. Mullerlights, however, are perfect for it! Just the right texture, in my opinion.
