I like to give them a pudding, they are like rakes and if they are homemade puds I don't feel bad about it.

I do:
apple sponge
apple crumble
fruit salad
honey yogurt
ice cream (once every couple of weeks)

but have run out of ideas.

Mine loves lemon drizzle cake with custard

jam roly poly?
cheesecake?
crumble with something different in it?
angel whirl every now & again wouldn't be too bad I don't think

cheat by making normal cakes and serving with custard

there are more cake recipes out there than 'pudding' ones IME

DS is a fruit monster and has chopped up fruit, fruit salad, or yoghurt & honey most days.

He also likes custard, rice pudding, crumble and any type of cake as a treat (he is also a cake monster, like his mumma!).

I hadn't thought of baked apple. Bet he'll love that - might make it today!

Oh, and ice cream! He loves Banana Splits and ice cream floats.

I make a really yummy coconut rice pudding is so sweet and stodgy with a plop of St Dalfour raspberry jam. I make it to try and get some weight on ds
Banoffe pie goes down well in this house too (I make up the caramel separately and store in the fridge) crush some biscuits with a bit of butter/caramel/creamy stuff of choice and bananas.

Pancakes again using the caramel and bananas goes quickly in this house.

Tinned pineapple with crunchy breadcrumbs (crumble mixture with a couple of hobnobs crused)

Mousse
I make with crushed tinned pineapple, double cream and lemon jelly (leave to set for a few house) and top with chocolate curls (ds's job)

Not very exciting but does the trick chez Megs.

Ooh, DS loves baked bananas with chocolatey things in them. I split a banana down the middle, bung Maltesers/chocolate buttons / whatever in the middle, then wrap tightly in foil and bung in oven for 15 mins or so. Lovely with ice cream.

Pancakes is a good one, yes@hotcrossbunny

I nearly forgot if you make the coconut rice pudding with ground rice instead of pudding rice and use double cream also I put it in the freezer for a hour or so and hey presto, coconut ice cream

Ice Cream
Gu Chocolate Pots (if they have been very good!)
Pancakes
Strawberries and Cream or Yogurt
Jam Roly Poly & Custard
Pot of Custard
Pot of Stewed Fruit

Most days they don't get pudding though - don't want them having bloody expectations!

Can either bake bananas in their skins with chocolate(YUM) or slice them into ovenproof dish, dot lumps of butter over, scatter some brown sugar over the top with a pinch of cinnamon and put in oven for 20 mins. They go sticky and caramelly and gorgeous. We love them with ice cream or greek yoghurt

Am going to keep this thread for future reference. We love puddings in the hotcross house!

Nigella Express chocolate pear pudding thing - fabulous. Serve with custard or ice cream or chocolate sauce (or all 3?). Takes 5 mins to whizz together.

Only have 'posh' puddings at the weekend, otherwise it's standard yogurts/fromage frais type things, or fruit in some form (fresh, pureed pots or smoothy things). Weekends usually involve some form of fruit crumble, fruit flans, cheesecakes or - the kids favourite - trifle!

Megglevache · 01/10/2008 11:46

that choc pear thing looks amazing.

Boyswillbeboys · 01/10/2008 11:48

Greek yoghurt, honey and banana v.popular here.

I like to give them puddings but am a rubbish cook so it tends to be cooked fruit and custard/yoghurt
