Grape Nuts and Fromage Frais
Asked on 18 Mar 2018 by Deirdremcfadden
Dear Lindsey
I have 2 questions
1. I have been making the key lime pie for years but cannot source grape nuts. Can you suggest an alternative please ?
2. I would like to make the chocolate marscapone cheese from Delia Chocolate Collection but I cannot get the 8% fat fromage frais. Again could you suggest an alternative, please
Many thanks
Deirdre
Hello Deirdre,
You can get Grape Nuts in the cereal aisle at Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s or Waitrose.
8% Fromage Frais is available in Waitrose – either Waitrose own brand or Rians La Faisselle brand (I’ve seen Rians on French Click as well).
Or if you cannot get anything but the fat-free fromage frais (which seems to be available just about everywhere) - I would use 150ml of the fat-free combined with 50ml extra thick double cream or full-fat crème fraîche.
Best wishes
Lindsey
Thanks for your help Lindsey but I live in the Republic of Ireland and we have neither Sainsbury's or Waitrose. Tesco definitely do not stock the grape nuts.

Deirdre
Perhaps you could try toasted pinhead oatmeal or toasted chopped nuts
Thanks Lindsey
