M&S Sunken Chocolate and Valencian Orange Cheesecake







I’m not a big fan of most of the m&s cheesecakes; I find them pretty tastleless and medicore for the price. Nevertheless, I decided to try this Sunken chocolate orange cheesecake as it looked so delicious. I wasn’t disappointed!

The chocolate cheesecake itself had a lovely fluffy mousse like texture, with a beautiful chocolatey taste. The plump, juicy orange segments were a nice addition, although weren’t necessary as the chocolate flavour was so scrumptious. I loved the chocolate biscuit layer too; it tasted like a chocolate cookie.

This cheesecake was absolutely delicious and I would definitely buy it again. I just hope M&S don’t discontinue it.

M&S Swiss White Chocolate Ice Cream



My eyes lit up when I saw this – there was also only one left, so I knew I had to grab it. If you don’t already know, white chocolate is my favourite thing, I love it.

This ice cream had a lovely silky smooth texture with a lovely rich creamy taste. But, I couldn’t really taste the white chocolate. I looked on the back, and it only contains 15% white chocolate, so it’s no surprise really!

I also noticed a strange honeycomb type flavour, which I later found out is probably from the demerara sugar. I have no idea why they thought that was a good idea. 

Anyway, I was a little disappointed at the lack of white chocolate taste, but this is still a really nice ice cream with a lovely silky texture. I don’t think I’d buy it again though.

M&S Mac 'N' Cheese Bites




I wasn't expecting much from these, but I was really surprised! 

Little Macaroni tubes in a delicious buttery cheese sauce. The breadcrumbs were lovely too; light and crispy. I would definitely buy these again!

M&S Spirit of Summer Peach Roulade




I have been eyeing up these fresh cream roulades for quite a while. They sometimes do a passion fruit one, but they didn't have any so I picked up this peach one instead.

I love the little orange pattern on the top! I really liked that the roulade came with greaseproof paper which made it so easy to lift out of the container - I was worried I might mess it up but this made it easy. It was really easy to cut, too.

A lovely light and airy sponge, along with little chunks of tangy but sweet peaches and peach sauce. I wasn't fussed on the cream - I think it needed some sugar! 

I was expecting this dessert to be heavy and indulgent, but it really wasn't. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth, or if you like light/tart desserts, I think you'd enjoy this. It was pleasant enough, however, I wasn't hugely fussed as it wasn't sweet enough for my liking!
