Dr Oetker Baking & Dessert Mixes

For more than 130 years, Dr Oetker has helped home bakers make cakes, desserts and sweet treats with less measuring, less uncertainty and more enjoyment. This collection brings together four versatile cupboard staples for quick desserts, traditional continental holiday baking and everyday moments worth sharing.

Choose rich pudding powders for smooth, comforting desserts in minutes, or stock up on gingerbread essentials for warmly spiced biscuits, cakes and seasonal baking. Each product is simple to use, reliably balanced and made to take some of the effort out of creating something delicious at home.

Rich, Creamy Pudding Powders

Our Dr Oetker pudding powders are an easy way to make a proper homemade-style dessert without starting from scratch. Once cooked, they make a thick, spoonable pudding that is delicious warm or chilled, and especially useful for dessert cups, trifles, no-bake cakes and layered treats.

Dr Oetker Bourbon Vanilla Pudding Mix has a smooth, fragrant flavour from vanilla bean extract and Bourbon vanilla. It is especially delicious with fresh berries, banana, fruit compote and crushed biscuits.

For a deeper cocoa dessert, choose Dr Oetker Belgian Chocolate Pudding Mix. Its rich chocolate character works beautifully with raspberries, cherries, whipped cream or a tiny pinch of sea salt.

Gingerbread and Continental Holiday Baking

Gingerbread is one of those wonderfully welcoming baking traditions that fills the kitchen with the aroma of cinnamon, ginger and clove. Our Dr Oetker gingerbread products make it easy to create classic biscuits, honey cakes and seasonal treats without needing to gather and measure several separate ingredients.

Dr Oetker Gingerbread Cookie Baking Mix provides a dependable base for cut-out biscuits, gingerbread people, stars, hearts and edible tree decorations. Simply add the required fresh ingredients, roll out the dough, cut your shapes and bake.

Dr Oetker Gingerbread Spice Mix combines cinnamon, cloves, ginger and orange peel for a rounded festive flavour. Its warm Lebkuchen-style spice profile is delicious in biscuits and cakes, but also in pancakes, porridge, hot chocolate and coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Dr Oetker pudding mixes and traditional custard powder?

Both are cooked with milk to make a comforting dessert, but they are designed for different results. Dr Oetker pudding mixes create a thicker, spoonable dessert that sets well in bowls, pudding cups, trifles and cake fillings. Traditional British custard is usually looser and more pourable, making it better suited to serving over pies, crumbles and puddings.

Are Dr Oetker baking mixes suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets?

Suitability varies by product and by how it is prepared. The gingerbread spice mix contains only spices and orange peel, while the pudding mixes can be prepared with suitable plant-based milk. However, please always check the individual product ingredients and allergy advice: some mixes may contain cereals or may have traces of milk, egg or nuts, and the gingerbread baking mix is prepared with additional fresh ingredients.

Can gingerbread spice mix be used for recipes other than biscuits?

Yes. Add it to loaf cakes, pancakes, waffles, porridge, yoghurt, apple compote, whipped cream, buttercream, hot chocolate or coffee. A small pinch is also lovely in warm milk or chai-style drinks when you would like a cinnamon, ginger and orange note.

What is mézeskalács?

Mézeskalács is the Hungarian name for traditional honey-rich gingerbread. It is often rolled, cut into decorative shapes and iced, much like other Central European gingerbread and Lebkuchen-style biscuits.
