  • Sweetheart Desserts

    Another long lost item from the 70's is Sweetheart dessert. I remember it being in a slim can, and advertised by Bob Monkhouse, way back in the early-mid 70's.
    I've searched for years to find out more about it, but drawn a blank on the net, apart from other peoples vague memories of it.

      It was a thick fruit flavoured dessert, same consistancy as custard.
      Hard to describe as many sites say it had to be mixed with milk, but I don't remember doing that

          Blimey, I'd forgotten these. I used to love the orange one.

              I do remember this sweet and creamy concoction from the 70's - did the strawberry one have bits of strawberry skin and seeds floating about in it? If I can recall it correctly it tasted rather gloopy and sweet?

              I think tastes have changed somewhat?

                The Mandarine one jolts a memory or two.We were mostly an angel delight household,and mum used to occationally mix bits of fruit in with that.Perhaps she got the idea from this product.Have a funny feeling the raspberry one may of been a desert that I always felt was stomach churning.It's a long time ago now...too many deserts have drifted under too many bridges to remember clearly.

                    These are before me but look like the sort of thing I would have liked. Wonder if they were a bit like Campbell's condensed soup with a big thick blob out the can that needed to be diluted with milk.

                      It was like a thick, fruity syrup which thickened when mixed with the milk to a wobbly custardy consistency.

                      My brother and I used to save our pocket money until we could afford a tin of the strawberry one and a bottle of milk and eat it in the shed - can't imagine kids being so deprived that they would need to do that nowadays!

                        I remember this vividly as I thought it was one of the most amazing foodstuffs I'd ever eaten (but then I am Birmingham born and bred) and certainly far superior to other dessert options (Angel Delight? No thank you.) Why it was taken off the market I'll never understand if I live to be 37. Perhaps it was the pieces of real fruit that people found disconcerting in the 70s?
