NO-BAKE COOLERS FOR FATHERS' DAY

Horray.  Warm weather again and just in time for Fathers' Day.

There has to be dessert, of course.  

In these frugal times though it's good to know that make-your-own ices and no-bake desserts can be wallet-friendly, easy and more-ish 

The following are some of 67goingon50's favourites.

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

Enjoy!

FROZEN

MANGO MINT & GINGER INSTANT SORBETvegan, no sugar, fat or preservatives. Sorbets are a terrific substitute for the ice creams that kids demand. Replace mangoes with any soft fruit. Budget-friendly



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. (not yet tested for dairy-free products)




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. (incl. dairy-free option)


Home-made lemon curd has Dads 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. (with dairy-free option)





No 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



LUSCIOUS LEMON PUDDING (with dairy-free option) 
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. (incl. vegan option)
