A Poor Girl's Eaton Mess
Raspberries, biscuits and instant whip. Mmmm, lovely! And it is a lovely fun messy pudding for baby led weaning and it gets an extra bit of calcium into the little ones! Oh, and fruit with the raspberries that I picked up from Lidl last week for £1 a pack! This recipe makes 3 servings and costs around £2.
Raspberries
Raspberries are fantastic BLW finger food for summer and autumn. They contain loads of fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K and magnesium. They are a refreshing change to the usual strawberries and are often slightly cheaper! And at only 63 calories per 100g, they are perfect for mummy and daddy snacks too!
Ingredients
- 100g Raspberries
- 1 packet of light instant whip
- half a pint of whole milk
- 6 rich tea biscuits (2 for crushing, 4 for breaking)
The Not-So Nitty Gritty
- Break up four biscuits and put them in the bottom of the bowls.
- Wash the raspberries and place them on top of the biscuits.
- Make up the instant whip with the milk in a separate bowl then pour evenly over the other bowls.
- Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
- Put the remaining biscuits in a food bag and seal. First smash with a rolling pin then continue to roll over with the rolling pin and leave to one side.
- Remove the bowls from the fridge and sprinkle the crushed biscuits over the top.
What Little Monster Thought...
At first he used his fingers and got in a right mess, despite liking it, he preferred to be spoon fed towards the end. Daddy wasn't keen but mummy and Tyler thought it was brilliant!
