Why bake when you can simply include lots of pre-made desserts in your weekly food shop? Here are some of the best pre-made desserts to shop this autumn.


As fun and wholesome as spending an afternoon baking elaborate and delicious desserts is, many of us don’t really have the time to bake on a regular basis. It might simply be a random Sunday here and there throughout the year but our cravings for something sweet are certainly not random, and a lot more frequent than our time spent baking. But lucky for us, we don’t have to spend time and money baking our own autumnal desserts when we can just include lots of pre-made desserts in our weekly food shop.

So, we’ve rounded up nine of our favourite pre-made autumnal desserts for those quick and easy sweet treats we all need sometimes.
