It’s a Hit! Aldi’s Has No Gluten Range

I have been trialling Aldi’s Has No Gluten Range.

I have made their Tiger bread mix. I really didn’t like the taste and texture of this one.

Next I made the carrot cake mix! This one is a winner! Great tasting and texture.

This weekend I made their Chocolate Mousse cake from the range! Amazing! Beautiful chocolate taste. Light in texture and the mousse component was easy to make you only needed cream and the mousse mix they provided!

I have tried many gluten free ranges and so far Aldi is a winner for me. What are your favourites? Let me know on the comments below.

And how can I forget! I tried their brownie mix! Double amazing! I added chocolate chips and Reece’s pieces and pistachios. The brownies are very fudgy and has a delicious chocolate taste. Another one I will be making again.
