Lemon Meringue Pie is my husband’s favourite dessert, but made the traditional way it’s a lot of work and so I rarely make it for him. This recipe is full of shortcuts – a biscuit base, instead of homemade pastry and sweetened condensed milk/egg/lemon juice filling, instead of a lemon curd filling. I confess I haven’t made it, but I think I’ll give it a try and see if it meets with his approval.
Years ago I used to make a dessert called Impossible Pie, like this it was a recipe that you mixed everything together and as it cooked the heavier ingredients formed a crust and the top was soft. It tasted quite good, but wish I’d had this recipe as the addition of lemon would have made it even better.
This looks very luscious, a little bit of work, but what a result.
Yes, Cake and Butter, not bread and butter. I’m assuming that this would be a sweeter dish than the traditional version as there’d be a more sugar in the cake than in bread. Although I haven’t made it, I think it would work – could be good with orange cake or other flavours too.
Don’t think there’s anyway you can go wrong with a combination of chocolate, raspberries, ice-cream and waffles. What more is there to say………………
I thought this dumpling recipe was interesting because sweet dumplings are usually just flour and water balls that you drop into a golden syrup sauce in a pot on the stovetop. These are a mix of flour, rice, milk and golden syrup and are cooked in a butterscotch sauce in the oven. I haven’t made them yet, but from the picture they look really good.
Not a traditional coffee flavoured tiramisu, this John West recipe is filled with boysenberries and mascarpone, but it’s still rich, creamy and yummy.
You can make this recipe as six self-saucing puddings or one large family size pudding. Tinned cherries are used and that makes it an all-year round pudding, although I think eating it hot and with a large dollop of cream screams ‘winter’ to me.
There’s two things I like about this recipe. Firstly, the combination of apples and raspberries together in the filling – I like the sweetness of the apples and the tartness of the raspberries. And, secondly the addition of rice bran in the crumble mix. I find some crumbles a bit dull, but the mix of rice bran, rolled oats and crushed nuts makes this one tasty.
I know going into winter is hardly the right time to post an ice-cream recipe, but for some people it doesn’t matter how cold it is it’s never too cold for a bowl of ice-cream. This one has the added bonus of crunch peanut butter and chocolate, so who cares if it’s cold outside turn the heating up and enjoy it……………
