Phew! What a scorcher!

Heatwaves call for ices and no-bake creamy desserts.  And in these frugal times it's good to know make-your-own are surprisingly easy, wallet-friendly and delicious.

And Fathers' Day weekend is an ideal occasion to show them off.

The following are some of 67goingon50's favourites.

They include easy, lower-fat/sugar, frugal, frozen and indulgent no-bake treats.

Enjoy!


FROZEN DESSERTS


MANGO MINT & GINGER INSTANT SORBET: vegan, no sugar, fat, preservatives.  

Sorbets are a terrific substitute for the sugar, cream and preservative laden ice creams that kids demand. Replace mangoes with any soft fruit. Budget-friendly



HEALTHY STRAWBERRY RIPPLE YOGHURT ICE, 0-fat, 0-Cream, Vegan Option - but much, much tastier than you'd expect. Easy-peasy. Budget-friendly



Perfect double chocolate surprise: minimum effort, maximum pleasure - and it's skinnier.  Perfect for a special occasion



Choc-a-block with chunks of fresh cherry and dark chocolate, elevated with the addition of cherry brandy, this is a superb dessert for a special occasion on a steaming hot evening.  No baking involved!  The contrast of deep pink, white fluffy mounds of cream and crushed chocolate biscuits is irresistable...and the layers of flavour are glorious. 



FRUITY CHEESECAKES & PUDDINGS


Sophisticated twist on a classic.  The addition of sweet ginger in syrup with ripe red berries and clouds of double cream or clotted cream is unexpected but sensationally delicious.



SKINNY CHCOCOLATE PEPPERMINT MOUSSENo cream unless you want it as a topping - but this healthier dreamy dessert still offers deep, dark chocolate flavours.
Light & lovely but still intensely chocolatey; 
no-bake, butter-free, cream optional


TIRAMISU PUDDINGless fat and fewer caloriesfabulous layers of creamy filling, coffee dipped ladyfingers & chocolate ganache; enlist the family's help and the making of it goes fast.


LUSCIOUS LEMON PUDDING: gloriously gorgeous crowd-pleaser.  Not just a load of cream and sugar; yoghurt lightens & enhances flavour.  Foolproof lemon curd or artisanal  shop-bought elevates the dish.  Make in stages; versatile; stretches to accomodate extra guests. 





If you love blackberries, this seriously creamy cheesecake will press the buttons.  Luscious fat blackberries and a delicate layer of alcohol makes for stunning flavour.  And doesn't it look absolutely fabulous?



An extra delight for  Dad: Lemon Raspberry Meringue Pie
Home-made lemon curd has them reeling in pleasure; don't hold back on slightly tart berries and pillowy meringue. Prep in advance.  Save time with store-bought pre-cooked pastry shell/s.
