Peppermint Crisp Cups

Peppermint Crisp Tart is a South African favourite and for good reason – it’s totally teeth curlingly sweet and delicious. We up the yum factor in this version by adding in layers of whipped First Choice Velvet Chocolate Flavoured Dairy Dessert. Silky smooth chocolatey layers complemented by crunchy biscuits and that signature minty crackle, this dessert is a real crowd-pleaser. If you’re not a confident cook or are time-strapped, this is the easiest and tastiest way to make an impression! We simply love this good old fashioned favourite with a stylish upgrade by serving in your favourite glasses.

Ultimate Strawberry Milkshake with Rainbow Funfetti Cookie

There is something about rainbow funfetti that brings out the kid in all of us! We’ve taken the old milk ‘n cookie combo up several notches with this recipe. Milk becomes a seriously berrylicious Strawberry Milkshake with the inclusion of First Choice Velvet Strawberry Flavoured Dairy Dessert and a regular cookie becomes a burst of rainbow colour as a funfetti cookie. We love that the strawberry flavoured dessert gives colour, flavour and a wonderfully thick and silky texture to these shakes. This pretty-as-a-picture treat is definitely both kid and adult approved.

If you love a mince pie, then step right up, this has your name written all over it. Picture it… warm cinnamon-y flapjacks with a creamy butterscotch ice cream topped with fruit mince and crunchy walnuts. Don’t be surprised if Santa decides to hang around until breakfast time!

Vanilla & Strawberry Jelly Sand Cups

It’s summer and we’re off to the beach! This dessert is totally kid-approved (yes, we checked!) and is a fun holiday treat that will no doubt become a favourite – think jelly and custard just a few levels better. It’s simplistic in its nature but oh-so-tasty and kids will love the effort you put in to create a fun beachy scene. First Choice Velvet Dairy Dessert whips up light and airy and when chilled and set it is utterly delish. Use your imagination and whatever treats you can come by to decorate the tops – think sprinkles, jelly babies or teddies etc.
