Invite me to lunch and I\u2019ll consider, but if you tell me there\u2019ll be pudding, I\u2019ll be there in a heartbeat \u2013 Tupperware<\/a> in hand and appetite ready. Malva. Sticky Toffee. Brandy. Bread & Butter Pudding \u2013 these irresistible treats are just some of my favourite bakes, my bread and butter if you will. While most might opt for vanilla ice cream, custard has always been the preferred serving suggestion in my family. Homemade or store-bought, whoever got the last serving always stirred a debate. Being an opportunist, I\u2019d cut the box open, use it as a bowl and scrape it down to the very last spoonful. Admittedly, my sweet-tooth cravings have amplified since the start of this dreaded winter season, so when Parmalat invited me to their Winter Warmer event at Food Jams, I couldn\u2019t have been more excited.<\/p>\n

Winter Warmer Cooking Challenge<\/h4>\n

When we arrived at Food Jams’ kitchen, we entered the proverbial land of milk and honey. Tables were decked with Parmalat products, and fridges were stocked with custard, yoghurt and their range of flavoured butters. Once we were split into groups, the cooking challenge began and we had 3 hours on the clock.<\/p>\n

In theory, three hours seems like more than enough time to bake something, but you\u2019d be surprised how fast time flies by when you\u2019re running like a headless chicken from one end of the kitchen to another while ensuring that your milk doesn\u2019t spill nor burn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some were tasked with creating savoury dishes like chicken Kyiv using the Parmalat butter and fresh cream, while others whipped up creamy delights incorporating Parmalat vanilla custard, flavoured yoghurt and EverFresh milk. I created a popular Italian dish, Arancini<\/a> \u2013 but the dessert version. Parmalat products were of course the hero product in each recipe.<\/p>\n

The Real Treat – Parmalat Custard<\/h4>\n

Desserts are usually dairy-based, which can be challenging for those who suffer from IBS<\/a> (err, me) or lactose intolerance, so I have to remind myself that dairy isn\u2019t my friend. When it comes to making coffee or tea, I opt for milk alternatives<\/a>, but they don\u2019t lend the desired creaminess that certain dessert recipes require.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Parmalat\u2019s considered range takes care of this with their EasyGest lactose-free milk; their Fabulite Double Cream Yoghurt contains no added sugar, which is ideal for those who have dietary restrictions or simply want to be mindful of their sugar intake. But the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me is their EasyGest Custard, a deliciously creamy vanilla-flavoured custard that\u2019s totally lactose-free, meaning you can enjoy your pudding and custard without dealing with bloating or cramps. It\u2019s perfect for when those sweet cravings hit.<\/p>\n

Before I knew it, three hours had passed and it was time to judge the dishes. As a competitive person, I was hoping our team would win \u2013 it certainly didn\u2019t hurt that we had a recipe developer and pastry chef on our side. While the judges deliberated, we gathered at the long table for a splendid supper filled with delightful conversation and all the delicious food we created; bellies were filled and tastebuds danced.<\/p>\n

The cherry on top was that my team was actually crowned as the winners of the cooking challenge; we were gifted a gorgeous ramekin set by Le Creuset \u2013 perfect for serving chocolate souffl\u00e9 and other tasty treats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Besides winning, the real treat of the night was getting to cook with some amazing personalities and of course, enjoying Parmalat Custard<\/a>.<\/p>\n
