The Real Meals Apples and Creamed Rice was the third, and at the time of this review, the final in the Real Meals dessert range. After the final two taste tests of the Real Meals Chocolate Cake Pudding and the Real MealsTropical Pudding I had high expectations of this meal and while it was very tasty in our opinion and better than a lot of options one the market it wasn’t as good as the two previous Real meal taste tests. So how did it taste:
This is essentially rice pudding with apple and it’s another one of those desserts that bring back childhood memories for me. It was sweet without being too sweet and Gill agrees on that front.
The recommendation is to add 250 mls of boiling water, stir for 30 seconds and wait ten minutes. Again like the other Real Meal desserts I found the water ratio to be spot-on providing the expected pudding consistency.
The only negative for this meal is that as freeze dried desserts go it’s on the higher end price wise, coming in at AUD $19.99 RRP.
So what’s the final verdict? I like this dessert and will definitely add it to my meal roster on longer trips for a bit of variety.
