Pudding and dessert recipes

Chuzzle

I have just found "lurking" in the back of my cupboard a tin of peach halves and a tin of caramel flavoured carnation.

Suggestions for what I can do to feed 3 hollow legged men when they finish work today?? all I can think of is warming the caramel up and pouring it over the peaches..... but someone must have a slightly more interesting idea?? I have various flours, eggs, marg and spices and milk if that helps.

I make a peach upside down cake... just put the peaches with either a glace cherry or a spoon of red jam in the space where the stone came out.. upside down in a ovenproof dish then mix a 1egg sponge mix and spread over the top... bake for 20mins invert the dish onto a plate and serve with ice cream or the caramel evap

You could do a banoffee pie type thing, with peaches instead of bananas. Use some digestive or ginger biscuits crushed up with some butter and a dash of golden syrup for the base and chill it for an hour or so. Slice the peaches and spread them over the base, pour the caramel over the top. Top with some whipped cream if you have some.

peach cobbler style dessert - lay peaches down with the juice and sprinkle over some sugar (if not in syrup) - brown sugar is good but white is fine. Sprinkle over a tsp of cornflour and mix through and leave for bit (the cornflour will thicken the juice a little for a sort of sauce. Vanilla essence is great added in as well. Then make a basic sweet scone topping - you can either be all neat and roll and cut into rounds/squares and lay across the top overlapping slightly, or do a sort of blobby effect with bits of the mixture when it's still a bit sticky instead of rolling out. Cook - I guess around 200c until scone top cooked. you could serve with the caramel cream or even better mix it in with the juice and maybe even with the scone/topping mix - caramel scones - never tried them but it sounds fabulous!

or you could make normal scones and layer with slices drained peached and the caramel sauce - maybe a victoria sponge type thing would work too?

I've got a tin of this in the cupboard too and I'm going to try and make meringues later this week and make them into banoffee mess with caramel and bananas and hopefully some strawbs too if OH doesn't scoff them all. Maybe you could do the same but use peaches instead of bananas?

Hi there,

Got friends coming for dinner in a couple of weeks and I am going to make a chilli, may make it this weekend & freeze so that I have a bit of extra time with them rather than in the kitchen.

Anyway, I am not usually a dessert eater, so any suggestions on what I can do that won't be affected by 4 girlies having a catchup? One minor issue is that I have a class on Thursday nights, so if any serious preparation is involved it will need to be on Wednesday or when I get back from work on the Friday.

Thanks

Buy some of those small microwave steam puddings, or spotted !!!!!! and chuck some custard over them. Nice and tasty and warming as well.

Rice pudding... easy peasy

Just realised you'll be having rice with the chilli... what about a pineapple upside down cake?
