Dh and I are having raspberry Pannecotta and I commented this is one of my favourite desserts

Top Danish Risalamand (rice dish with a cherry sauce)
Eton mess -I just love this
Joint thired. Raspberry pannecotta and Creme bruele

Dh was surprised I didnt add pie and custard but Im.not a great pastry fan. (Though I do love Waitrose cherry pie)

Whata everyone elses view?

Hmmm. Manchester Tart, Bread and butter pudding, apple crumble....I don't have a particularly sweet tooth and am not bothered much by cake, chocolate etc but i do love a traditional english pudding.

If crème brûlée is on the menu, I can't not order it.

DeanStockwell · 06/11/2025 20:28

Rhubarb crumble and custard but it gas to be really sharp firm chunks of rhubarb , not the sweet mush you tend to get .

That’s me too! Good old fashioned puds that I grew up on. Steamed puddings, milk puddings, pies and tarts etc…

Creme brûlée ( went on a 14 night cruise , had it for pud 14 times )
Lemon tart
Chocolate melting middle pudding

Zabaione or syllabub, but I have to make it myself as you never see them on menus. Otherwise partial to a gooseberry crumble with Jersey cream or an old English cheesecake, which again I have to make myself because you only ever see the New York style ones these days. I also love kaiserschmarrn with plum compote and soured cream.

I tend to be seasonal in what I like and if I can get the fruit for free from my garden or MIL's orchard- even better.

-Rhubarb, apple crumble with preserved ginger
-Pear Tart Tatin
-Sticky toffee pudding
-Passionfruit tart
-Profiteroles

Love old fashooned puddings. Read an article that states they are dying out🙄 Apple and sultana crumble with custard. Love Bakewell tart too.

MauriceTheMussel · 06/11/2025 20:39

Love me a tiramisu

Eton Mess, cherry anything

Sficky toffee for the autumn

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 06/11/2025 20:40

I have been really wanting a pudding tonight but zilch in. Have found a squashed date.

If feeling hearty then crumble with pouring cream, but it has to be sharp - with blackcurrants or rhubarb etc

lemon posset

v rich chocolate mouse

I love cake but don't really like sponge puddings, hot cake seems wrong to me

Old fashioned "kids" trifle... sponge, jelly, tinned fruit cocktail, set custard and dream topping. With sprinkles.

Or jelly cream... cool jelly, before it sets, whisked into a tin of carnation evap milk.

Or blancmange. Strawberry. Or chocolate.

I see a theme.
