No-cook desserts are the best for trips. If you can have a group dessert with minimal steps, it will impress your taste buds and anyone with you. All you need is a source of cold water (mountain stream!) and a spoon, and a few minutes to whip it good.
PackitGourmet’s Boston Cream Parfait may be listed as a “single serving,” but I highly recommend having extra spoons and sharing it. It’s sweet and satisfying, and for me, a single bag is far too much for one person. Priced at $11.99, it is an affordable luxury and very simple to prep.
Tip? If you don’t want to eat out of the bag, bring a couple of muffin liners and use them as “bowls”. Weighs almost nothing, and no double-dipping happens that way.
We reviewed this dessert in 2020, and 6 years later, it was time to try it out again.
Priced at $11.99, it might seem pricey, but with all the yummies added (cake croutons and fudge sauce), it becomes an elevated dessert.
While there are ingredients I am not a fan of, I also know that to have no-cook desserts, you have to give a little. But I would say – if shared with others, then it is a treat. If you have had a long day, it might be the boost you need and help you sleep well.
I don’t heat the fudge sauce packet; just put it in a pocket while the dessert sets, and it will squeeze out fine. One less step is a win.
Ready to eat.
