About the Author:

Lemon cheesecake

Lactose free & Gluten free option available. .

A light, zesty dessert that’s perfect after a big day on the trail—refreshing, simple, and easy to prepare. 

Ingredients

Serves 4

Base mix:

  • 96g instant pudding mix (vanilla)
  • 1 cup milk powder 
  • 1 Tbsp sugar 

Other:

  • 150ml lemon juice 
  • 4-6 digestives 

Method

Before hiking:

  1. Mix instant pudding mix, milk powder and sugar. Keep lemon juice and digestives separate. 

When hiking:

  1. Add 360ml water to the pudding mix, mixing constantly to avoid clumps.  
  2. Stir in the lemon juice, tasting as you go to decide what the right amount of lemon is. 
  3. Sprinkle crushed digestives on top. 

Notes

Gluten Free: Instant vanilla pudding is usually gluten free, but make sure to check the package. Use GF digestives. 

Lactose free: Substitute milk powder with lactose free milk powder for a lactose free version. 

Lemon juice: Instead of using lemon juice, you can use freeze-dried lemon powder for a more intense flavour.
