Introducing the Back Country Cuisine 175g Sticky Date And Custard Pudding Freeze Dried Meal. A deliciously comforting dessert designed for outdoor adventurers who want something sweet at the end of a long day. Made in New Zealand, this freeze-dried pudding delivers the rich flavour of sticky date pudding topped with smooth custard, offering a satisfying treat that feels indulgent even in the wilderness. Whether you're hiking, camping, hunting, or exploring off the grid, this dessert provides tasty, fast nourishment when you need it most.

Lightweight and easy to carry, the pouch weighs approximately one third of the prepared meal, making it ideal for tramping packs where space and weight matter. Preparation is quick and simple-just add 250 ml (1 cup) of boiling water directly to the pouch, stir, and let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Once ready, you can eat straight from the pouch to minimise clean-up, making it a convenient option for remote adventures. Each pack serves one and has a net weight of 150g, expanding to a generous 400g serving once prepared. Nutritionally, this meal provides a substantial energy boost, delivering 2790kJ (667 Cal) per serving. It contains 12.5g of protein, 18.2g of total fat (including 10.5g saturated fat), and 111g of carbohydrates, of which 64.4g are sugars. With 591mg of sodium per serve, it helps replenish energy levels after physically demanding activities. On a per 100g basis (prepared), it offers 698kJ of energy, 3.1g of protein, 4.5g of fat, and 27.7g of carbohydrates. This balance of carbohydrates, fats, and protein makes it a reliable and energising dessert option in outdoor conditions.

Designed with durability in mind, the meal features a long shelf life, produced with a four-year best-before date, making it suitable for emergency food storage as well as regular outdoor use.
