I always try to have a taste of any new Muller Light limited edition yogurt, as the majority of them turn out really well. I was especially keen on the Muller Light Cinnamon Bun variant, as I’m a huge fan of cinnamon buns and Muller Light yogurts have a favourable recent history with spices in their yogurts, particularly a Hot Cross Bun version they did a year or two ago.
Opening the lid gives you a slightly off white yogurt, which isn’t quite white enough to match the icing you often see on top of a Cinnamon Bun, but is paler and more yellow than the bun itself. The smell certainly gives away what the taste is supposed to be, as you get a slight hint of both cinnamon and the sweetness of the icing on top. As someone who prefers the cinnamon part of the bun to the icing, the proportions aren’t entirely to my personal preference, but they are in keeping with what the flavour promises.
The flavour is equally on point and matches the aroma almost perfectly. The taste of the cinnamon comes through to start with, but it’s the sweet cinnamon you get in baking rather than the sharper version from a curry. There is enough sugar in the taste to replicate the icing and whilst there isn’t enough depth to give the entire taste of the bun, my mind certain seems to extrapolate that in a way that makes the yogurt feel more filling than the calorific value would suggest.
Once again, Muller Light have hit all their marks with a limited edition yogurt. They have successfully combined the balance of spice and sugar to make a yogurt that tastes exactly the way it should. But more than just the taste, it smells and feels like it would do eating a cinnamon bun, but at a saving of several pounds in money and several hundred calories and the pounds in weight they may otherwise lead to if the real thing were consumed instead.
