This is a quick and easy dessert for when pears are in season. The combination of coffee, pear, ice cream and maybe a dollop of cream is delicious.

SPICY BANANA PUDDING
This is another hearty pudding for the cold winter months. It’s almost a cake with banana filling and would probably be quite OK eaten cold or warmed up in the microwave.
TOPSY-TURVY APRICOT PUDDING
Dessert recipes using tinned fruit have gone completely out of fashion, but they’re still worth trying when fresh stoned fruit is out of season. A pudding like this makes a warm and filling dessert – especially in the colder months.
BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING
There’s no picture with this recipe so I thought it was going to be one of those wonderfully stodgy baked puddings. Instead I was surprised to discover that it’s a much lighter dessert – butterscotch with a meringue topping. It would be wonderfully sweet and just screams out for some cream on top.
CHOCOLATE MACAROON DESSERT
No, this isn’t a recipe for just chocolate macaroons – it’s actually a chocolate dessert with macaroons on top. It’s a new one to me. It’s cooked in individual souffle dishes with a chocolate crumb base, a rich chocolate/coffee sauce and topped with coconut macaroons. Definitely one for the chocolate lovers.
CHOCOLATE BROWNIE FLAN
Served with lashings of cream this combination of a chocolate brownie in a pastry case would be pretty delicious, although I’m guessing it would be fairly rich – maybe just a small slice?
ALMOND CASTLES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE
Almond Castles – a favorite english dessert. Is it? I’ve never heard of it and an online search didn’t seem to answer the question. This recipe was on a page of desserts that Mum tore out of a 1991 New Idea. Favorite or not it sounds good, especially with the raspberry sauce and cream.
CRISPY PINEAPPLE BERRY CRUMBLE
I know tinned pineapple isn’t very popular these days, but back in the 70s it seemed to appear in lots of sweet and savoury dishes. In going through Mum’s collection I’ve discarded many of them as I just don’t think anyone would want to make them now. This one seemed to be a bit of an exception mainly, I think, as the berries add a tartness into the mix and that would counteract some of the sweetness of the pineapple, which in my opinion is the main problem with with tinned pineapple. (The biro underlining is Mum’s so she must have thought it would taste OK.)
CHOC-CREME CARAMELS
I know white chocolate isn’t everybody’s favourite, but this little dessert with it’s caramel sauce and topped with raspberries might just change their minds.
CHERRY CHOCOLATE ROLL
Swiss Chocolate Roll is probably the best known chocolate roll. This is just a bit of a step up from that with brandy soaked black cherries adding a bit of a kick. Possibly not one for the children……………
