While some of us love slaving away on extravagant sweets that quite literally take days to make, most of us don’t. That’s why it’s important that we know how to hack it when it comes to dessert. And the best way to hack it is to use store-bought desserts and LEVEL THEM UP. So today we’re going to show how to take Australia’s favourite dessert brand, Sara Lee from drab to fab.

Dessert lasagne.

Frozen cake becomes dessert lasagne

Sara Lee Frozen Chocolate Cake is not only super delish but also SUPER versatile. If you want a quick dessert that looks like it took days, then our choc mint dessert lasagne is perfect. This treat comprises a layer of the chocolate cake, topped with our cheat’s no-bake cheesecake and adorned with any of your fave choc mint sweets (we’re suckers for Darrell Lea’s Minty Crunchy Chocolate Balls though). You can find the recipe HERE.

Easy cheat’s chocolate mousse.

The Chocolate Bavarian gets better

We knew it and we did it. We took one of Sara Lee’s most popular frozen desserts and turned it into a decadent but super easy cheat’s chocolate mousse. You only need five ingredients and 5 minutes to create this magical mousse. Check out the recipe HERE.

Vanilla cheesecake made boozy

This one’s for the espresso martini lovers. We took Sara Lee French Vanilla Cheesecake, cappuccino biscuits, Kahlua, vodka and white chocolate to create the ultimate truffle. These fabulous morsels are perfect for gifting (whether that’s to a loved one or yourself – we don’t judge). Grab the recipe for espresso martini cheesecake balls HERE.

Strawberries and cream.

A strawberries and cream dream

The Sara Lee French Vanilla Cheesecake has proved itself to be a multitalented member of the Sara Lee family. We upgraded this cheesecake by adding strawberry jelly and topping it with Sara Lee Strawberries and Cream ice-cream and whipped cream. It’s a truly impressive but super easy dessert. If this sounds right up your alley, then HERE is the recipe.
