What is your favourite pudding?

So we are getting into cooking a roast each week and have started to make the effort of making a proper pudding as well. I sometimes get stuck in a bit of a crumble rut but have recently tried trifle, key lime pie and treacle tart 😋. I need some inspiration of new puddings to try! What are your favourites? (We have to eat gluten free, but I'm fairly happy to adapt a recipe)

Like baked alaska here. Although my attempt during the week wasn't great

Lemon meringue pie yum also. I am better at making it

Coconut rice pudding with caramelised pineapple from the McNean House cookbook. I usually don't bother with the pineapple though, the pudding is amazing even just by itself.
This sounds incredible

Anything with lemon. So cheesecake,tart,roulade. Or Tiramisu but has to be a huge portion.

AnotherMansCause · 29/12/2021 23:01

Cheesecake, or
Mincemeat & apple crumble with oats instead of regular flour. Drool.
There was a chocolate roulade my mother used to make many years ago, I will try to find it. Definitely GF.

@PeaAndHamSoupFromATurkey

Homemade rice pudding with lots of grated nutmeg and a bit of powdered cinnamon on top when cooking. Then served with a spoon of jam and some cold milk on top.
Yaaaaaaaas! I came here to suggest this.

Apple crumble and custard

AnotherMansCause · 29/12/2021 23:26

This looks extremely similar to the roulade my mother used to make. She used to make it, slice it & freeze it. I still do, sometimes.

I've also made this in the past. Very nice.

Amazing ideas! Thankyou all so much 😄

self-saucing puddings are delicious - the easiest is a self-saucing chocolate pudding which is very rich - we like it with berries and melting vanilla ice cream. There are also recipes for self-saucing sticky toffee pudding which is also delicious! BBC Good Food have a self-saucing jaffa pudding which is chocolate orange and also yummy.
steamed syrup sponge pudding - an also ring the changes by using different flavoured jams and lemon curd
chocolate tart with a biscuit base
bakewell tart
spotted dick with custard
banoffee pie
tiramisu
trifle is very versatile - there are lots of recipes for twists... my favourite is a black forest one with brownies at the bottom and cherries in the layers

If you are interested in learning more about the history of puddings - I go this book for Christmas and it is fab www.amazon.co.uk/Pride-Pudding-History-British-Puddings/dp/1743367384/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid&sr although I haven't tried the recipes yet...

Eves pudding, Queen of puddings and bread and butter pudding. All childhood favourites.

JurgensCakeBabyJesus · 30/12/2021 16:01

Eve's pudding, reminds me of the apple trees in my grandparents' garden when I was a child, my gran used to make a huge Eve's pudding in a pyrex dish and a big jug of thick custard when we all went for dinner in the colder months.
