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……………

PEACH RICE BAKE
Mum must have gone to some sort of Sun rice promotion as there is quite a few rice-based recipe sheets in her collection. Not many of them are desserts though. I thought this one might work well – rice, peaches, sultanas, honey and spices with a crumble topping smothered in either cream, custard or icecream definitely has some appeal.
LAYERED CHEESECAKE or SPICY CHEESE CAKE
Instead of the usual biscuit base this cheesecake has a cake mixture on the bottom and then another layer in between the cheese filling. Quite different, but simple to make.
RASPBERRY DUMPLINGS
Golden syrup dumplings have always been a family favourite, served up with a dollop cream or ice cream they’re delicious. This is the first time though I’ve seen a recipe for raspberry dumplings. Despite the name on the recipe I’m not sure they’re native to Canada!! Of course, you can use fresh raspberries, just gently cook them with some sugar, water and butter, drain them and reserve the juice to mix with the golden syrup.
ZABAGLIONE
I haven’t seen this Italian dessert on a menu for a long time or for that matter made it myself for years. It was one of our go-to dinner party recipes back in the 80s. Maybe it’s time it made a comeback.
FROZEN MANGO TERRINE
Although this recipe uses tinned mangoes, I can’t see why you couldn’t use nice fresh ones instead – in fact I think it might make it even better.
STUFFED BAKED PEACHES
One of the best things about summer is that stone fruit is in season and, as this recipe says, that makes it the right time to make this delicious Italian dessert.
CARAMEL PECAN SWIRL ICE-CREAM
I don’t know if you want to serve this as a dessert or just eat it yourself. It can be made up to a week ahead and the caramel sauce frozen until you want it. Ymmmmmmmm.
CHRISTMAS TERRINE
Already wondering what you’re going to do with the leftover Christmas pudding or Christmas cake? This could be worth trying. Might even be alternative on the day itself.
CWA CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING – HARD SAUCE – FLUFFY CREAM SAUCE
Here’s another Plum Pudding recipe for you. It’s an old CWA one published by the Herald Sun in the 70s. Back then Mum didn’t serve custard with the Christmas Pudding she would make a sweet white sauce and would whip some cream. Every family differs though, my son-in-law’s family in WA always have Brandy Sauce or Hard Sauce as it’s called below. I’ve never tried the Fluffy Cream Sauce, but I think it would be pretty good too.
