Torq says:
Our instant Explore Supercharged Desserts have been designed to provide easily accessible, useful and effective nutritional fuel in a convenient, lightweight, low volume package. Simply add hot water to the pack, stir until creamy, add your sauce and your dessert is ready to eat.
It is TORQ’s Performance Nutrition heritage that makes our Explore Desserts so unique and sets them apart from other outdoor food products in the marketplace. Each pack contains over 500 calories of high quality functional food to provide the energy needed to get the most out of your adventurous activities. By focussing on functionality, TORQ’s Explore Desserts significantly out-perform higher calorie alternatives.
Our Explore Supercharged Desserts can be particularly useful to consume in addition to an Explore Supercharged Meal on the most demanding of days out. They can also be used to supplement and supercharge a main meal which may be of lower nutritional quality.
Our Verdict
TORQ have stood the test of time in the hydration and energy snack market, whilst many other brands have come and gone. Their years of experience have allowed them to develop highly effective products that really do work.
As a company, TORQ focus on using the highest-quality ingredients they can and they also put a lot into scrutinising their production methods. This means you are getting products that are amazing at helping you keep going on the hill, without any dodgy unethical ingredients or practises going into their manufacture.
They're also conscious about the effects their products and packaging have on the environment and do a lot of research into ways to lessen their impact.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - Although a comforting and warming dessert, we found it to be lacking in variety in both taste and texture. While the dish is pleasant, it could have benefitted from some variation. We recommend stirring the dish an extra time or two to ensure that it is lump-free. |

Material & Construction
-
Open pack and add 250-300ml of hot water and stir continuously until thick and creamy, ensuring that you dig right into the edges of the pack.
Add sauce and more hot water if desired.
Ensure water is as hot as possible or your dessert may not thicken properly.
-
The pouches are heat sealed and some air is trapped inside them. If you would like to expel the air to reduce the volume of the pack before your trip, partially tear into the top of the pack, expel all of the air and use the zip-seal to reseal the pack. Adding a small piece of tape to the tear in the pack will ensure that contents are then 100% secure.
