Ok, so what pud would you take to a BBQ?

[alfielooloo]

I need some inspiration on what to take with us, something quick & easy to make would be good 8 adults & 6 kids so maybe even 2 puds?

A bunch of bananas a load of flakes and some foil.

Cut the nana (with the skin still on) lenght ways to make a slit in it. Stuff the whole flake in the slit. Close the nana up again and wrap it in foil. Bang it on the barbie for about 5 mins. Unwrap and eat. It's heavenly!

A tesco trifle!!

or a huge sticky chocolate cake and a tub of vanilla icecream!

[Troutpout]

Nanas, cream, brown sugar
mmmmmmmmmmmm...it's the biz

[Nbg]

I second the bananas and choc.

Or you could do an eton mess. Whipping cream, strawberries, raspberries and merangues.
Break up the merangues and throw it all in together.
Really quick and yummy.

[alfielooloo]

Yum! thanks ladies. Anyone else??

[katylou25]

I always do "chocolate scrapey" from my childhood -

red grapes chopped in half layered up with equal quantities cream and yoghurt whipped together and then grated dark choc mixed with muscavado sugar like this. Yum Yum Yum.

grapes
yog and cream
choc and sugar
grapes
yog and cream
choc and sugar
and so on till the bowl is full!!!

v easy, don't need to be exact about measurements and the bowl is always always licked clean!!

summer puddding,
dont really know how to make it though

recurrants, raspberries, and white bread?

[alfielooloo]

I had thought of making Summer pudding, never made it before, just one problem though, I dont have raspberies & redcurrants & only live in a village with a local shop that only stocks basic fruit & veg, don't really fancy a trip to Tesco tonight

[DimpledThighs]

tirasmiu or choc bananas

[Lullabyloo]

Eton Mess

Cream
meringues
raspberries
strawberries

yum!

[Kbear]

chocolate brownies and good vanilla icecream

Nigella's recipe is easy and delish. Nigella.com

[TeeCee]

A whole pinapple, maple syrup, a sharp knife and some foil.

Unbe;ievaby good. Tastes about a million times better than pinapple not cooked on a bbq.

[ViscountessPetitLapin]

tropical tiramisu/trifle

layer of sponge cakes soaked in pineapple juice
layer of diced fruit - I use mango, banana and pineapple but whatever you like
layer of cream mix (tub of mascapone, plus lightly whipped double cream plus "proper" custard if you like)

depending on size of bowl, you can repeat the 3 layers again

Decorate with tiny bits of fruit or grated choccie.

V yummy and child friendly.

Marshmallow whip-always goes down really well and easy to take. The one where you make strawberry jelly whip up evap milk and puts marshmallows in - easy!!!

[alfielooloo]
