Cream and chilled desserts: sugar and saturated fat by pot

Every cream and chilled dessert broken down by pot, with sugar in teaspoons and saturated fat compared against NHS daily reference intakes.

Chilled desserts combine added sugar with dairy saturated fat, and the pot is almost always eaten whole regardless of what the label suggests a serving is.

Saturated fat does most of the damage

Cream-based desserts carry the majority of their calories as fat, most of it saturated. A single pot can use a substantial share of a child's daily limit before any sugar is counted.

Custards and rice puddings are lower in fat but higher in sugar, which shifts the problem rather than removing it.

Pot size and stated servings

Sharing tubs and larger pots frequently state two or four servings and are eaten by one or two people. The per-tub figure is the realistic one.

Squirty and pouring creams are used by the spoonful, so the per-100ml figure overstates a typical use. Per-serving comparison is more useful.
