I suspect it’s the peppermint crisps, the crunchie bars or whatever chocolate treat you feel like adding that will be the main appeal of this ice cream for the kids. Even so it’s something they can make themselves, although I doubt all 3 bars will make it into the mix.
When this cheesecake slice with cinnamon, orange and sultana filling was published in the Woman’s Day it was described as ‘mouth-watering’ and they said that it would ‘really impress your family and friends’. It looks fairly easy to make and should transport well, so they might be right and it would just thing to take when you’re asked to ‘bring something sweet’ to a gathering.
A traditional fruit crumble pudding is baked and that gives it a crisp top, but this Plum Crumble is a bit different. After cooking the plums you toast the oats and nuts and serve them on top of the plums with the apple and honey sauce poured over.
Another dessert recipe for banana lovers. I don’t think you can go wrong with this cream cheese, banana and filo pastry combination, especially when dusted with icing sugar………yumm.
Chocolate Ripple cakes were a very popular dessert in the 70s and 80s. This recipe is similar, sweet biscuits layered with cream, although in this case you dip the biscuits in coffee to add some flavour to the plainer biscuits. Both are a great ‘make the day before’ desserts.
It’s summer so that means stone fruit are back on the shelves. Fresh juicy peaches are always delicious, but this cream cheese filled and baked dessert is a luscious way to enjoy them.
This is a great way to jazz up plain old creamed rice. If you don’t want to use tinned crushed pineapple I don’t see why couldn’t substitute any other fruit fresh fruit or even tinned apricots or peaches.
Looking for something entirely different to serve as dessert on Christmas Day – this Ice Cream Roll could be the answer. No steaming or cooking needed, just some assembly and the Herald Sun cooking page kindly supplied photos (sadly in black and white) showing how to do it.
Want to get away from the traditional Christmas pudding, which can be a very heavy end to the meal, especially on a hot Australian Christmas Day. Maybe this Christmas Tiramisu would work for you……………
I usually make a large Christmas pudding weeks in advance, but for some people individual ones made and eaten on the same day work better. This recipe was put out on a handy recipe sheet by Coles so all the ingredients can be sourced from there. It’s cooked in the microwave and only takes 12 minutes – very handy.
