"We spotted this today at Lidl! It looks and sounds amazing!". Accompanying the post was a picture of Lidl's Deluxe Christmas Express dessert in the shape of a steam train. The green and gold dessert is a different version of the traditional chocolate yule log.

The train itself is made out of Belgian chocolate which is filled with chocolate mousse and salted caramel. It has a brownie base and the train's steam is made from marshmallows. The image of the luxurious dessert had Facebook users salivating. "Never seen a dessert like this before," one wrote in the comments.

"This one for the winner going to track it down," another said. The indulgent pudding is £9.99 or can be bought for just £6.99 with a Lidl Plus card and serves eight people. But, those who have fallen in love with the pudding are struggling to get it in time for the big day due to its late appearance on shelves and huge popularity.

One disappointed shopper said: "Been trying to get but sold out.". "It's ridiculous! Don't understand why they've put this in stores so late in the month knowing most people won't actually get the chance to get one," another fumed. "Got mine they sold out with[in] an hour of opening," a third added as others planned their early morning visits to local stores to get their hands on the train dessert.
