In amongst the horse flesh Gillian's three model males show the three puddings:
- Apple pie and custard
- Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake
- Fresh fruit and Chocolate Pavlova
41% said the Pavlova had the highest number of calories. But were they right?
No, by a short head it's the Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake coming at 530 calories a serving which is equivalent to eight Bourbon biscuits. The final placings were:
- Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake – 530 calories
- Apple pie and custard – 503 calories
- Fresh fruit and Chocolate Pavlova – 326 calories
- Aunt Bessie's Apple Pie – 360 calories a serving
- Waitrose Danish Pastry Apple Tart – 140 calories a serving
- Fru Rhubarb, Apple and Ginger Crumble – 219 calories a serving
- Sainsbury's Apple Crumble – 259 calories a serving
If in doubt, go for fruit desserts without the double pastry crust and save about 100 calories a serving and if you do fancy making a Pavlova then ditch the cream for low fat crème fraiche, have less meringue and add more fruit.
