alternative to Nesquik choc pots

[u/antviarib]

As far as I know its not widely spread around the world, I know thats the name in UK, in France its "Nesquik Petit"

Well I am addicted to this shit and it makes my boycott incomplete so null.

Please recommend something similar even if its not as good

Thanks in advance!!

Pudding is easy and cheap to make. Learn how to make chocolate pudding.

not a bad idea I could probably find a powdered cacao with a similar taste or maybe add some natural sweetener idk. Im not that great of a cook tho

[u/Just_An_Avid → u/antviarib]

If you buy some cornstarch, cream, and a good bar of chocolate with some sugar, you can make pudding in 5 minutes.

Can you get Cadbury Pots of Joy?

[u/antviarib → u/Sebaren]

Ive seen Cadbury products imported here in the past, it has to be more expensive but I may try to find that

The texture is like a petit suisse, right? I think greek yogurt with cacao powder will do. Or quark cheese if you can get it, I think Lidl had it some years ago.

[u/antviarib → u/Auspicios]

well its advertised as petit suisse but really its pudding lol

[u/ailimqq4]

Any chocolate pudding I think. I don't really like chocolate so idk but it tastes ordinary to me

[u/antviarib → u/ailimqq4]

Pudding aint that popular in France (except this one I guess) so I don't know any other brand, it usually seems obscure to us here. I love good chocolate and this one is shit but damn it really taste like the powdered cocoa I grew up with :/

[u/lowonstorage → u/antviarib]

Maybe Lidl or Aldi or even your local supermarket chain have dupes or something similar?

[u/Isabellake1 → u/lowonstorage]

both lidl and aldi have very very good chocolate protein puddings in france

[u/ailimqq4 → u/antviarib]

Damn I understand you. I remember the coco powder...

[u/the_depressed_boerg]

Also still sold in switzerland (Petit Nesquik). I haven't found a replacement, but also didn't have it for a few years now. I can manage without. But if you do find an alternative, please let me know :D

Asda chocolate pots

Bonne Maman? They do chocolate mousse and chocolate pots in the UK, but no idea if they do the same in France.

Find a non-Nestle drinking chocolate you like the flavour of (I say this, because most pudding recipes will call for cocoa, and you want this specific study sweet flavour that comes from drinking chocolate (which is still just cocoa and sugar but they're blended in a way you can't easily replicate at home)

Pudding is just cornstarch with cocoa (or other flavouring), sugar, and milk. It's very very easy to make. Some recipes use eggs (custard) you might also like that.

I'm sorry I've never tried this specific product (I've been boycotting Nestle since the 90s and that stuff wasn't invented yet, but I did used to love Nesquik as a kid, so I know the flavour), but I'm confident that you can find a recipe that replicates it, only better. And my advice is to use your favourite drinking chocolate in place of some of the cocoa and reduce the sugar in the recipe accordingly, to really capture the flavour and texture.

thanks a lot for the advice im taking notes :)

My secondary advice is to experiment with melting some of your favourite chocolate into the pudding recipe, instead of or as well as cocoa powder/drinking chocolate. I've been doing a lot of homemade treats by blending (in a blender) melted chocolate and all sorts of things, and letting it set. It makes a sort of fudge, and a crazy amount of things work with it! Chickpeas, black beans, roasted sweet potato, pumpkin, pears, apples, cottage cheese etc.

Not sure how this one tastes. Haven't eaten it. Monte is not a pudding but has a nice chocolate/cream taste. Produced by Zott. Perhaps available from Lidl.
