If you could have any dessert you wanted right now, what would it be?

I’d choose rhubarb crumble with proper thick custard.

Earlier in today I stopped at a cafe and was rugby tackled by a vanilla cream doughnut. Was bloody delicious.

Trifle. I make my trifle and it's mandarins, sponge cake (have been known to use a lemon Swiss roll) orange jelly, very thick custard, a gratuitous amount of cream, glace cherries, and hundreds and thousands all over.

I like all the desserts mentioned so far. I love pavlova where the base is gooey on the inside, also love a crumble with custard.

Black forest gateaux with extra cream ❤️

Tarte au citron.

Sicilian lemon tart with a small scoop of cold clotted cream. I like the Cook one but Aldi do a lovely one too which has just returned after an absence of 4 years.

Love a good chocolate eclair too and will always order a warm Bakewell tart if it’s on a menu.

My current favourite though is really good quality sweet strawberries with crumbled meringue and generous dollops of Waitrose Greek yoghurt.

Tiramisu. It's my all time favourite.

Livpool · 27/08/2026 23:19

Lemon meringue 😋

KnickerlessParsons · 27/08/2026 23:20

Blackberry crumble.

Ilovemum · 27/08/2026 23:20

It's cold and wet- so a apple and blackberry crumble with proper custard please!! Or a panettone bread and butter pudding with custard

Key Lime pie… haven’t had for ages… don’t find it in any shops anymore ☹️

I had an amazing pudding on holiday , some kind of raspberry shell filled with icecream, all vegan and so exciting to have a lovely option.

Either rhubarb crumble and custard or lemon meringue pie.

Tiramisu a close third.

Davros · 27/08/2026 23:42

Homemade rice pudding with plenty of nutmeg. I do love a rhubarb crumble with thick, thick custard too.
I don’t like tiramisu, don’t like the taste of coffee. Unless it’s in a baby Guinness

Jdonwh · 27/08/2026 23:44

Wedge of thick unctuous baked vanilla cheesecake with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of raspberry coulis and a little jug of pouring cream

Jdonwh · 27/08/2026 23:45

Or a slice of lemon tart, with fresh blueberries

lalalagarden · 27/08/2026 23:47

Lemon tart, lemon meringue, lemon anything really

Jdonwh · 27/08/2026 23:48
