I have so many favourite puddings but if I had to choose it would be a really decent banofee pie, with cream. I don’t understand how previous generations survived without it. They must have suffered terribly.

What’s your favourite pudding?

Pavlova or Eton mess

Skigal86 · 02/07/2020 21:13

Or my dear departed dads sherry trifle. Best served for Boxing Day breakfast!

bestbrowsintown · 02/07/2020 21:14

My favourite is probably lemon tart though

Stripeytopgirl · 02/07/2020 21:14

Co-op brand Chocolate cake with double cream or
Home made banoffe pie. Can’t decide.

Coconut and jam sponge and custard. Only ever eat it once in a blue moon as I do a specific diet and its too calorific

Never been able to look at apple pie since I was in infant school. It was served for pudding in school and I saw a baked spider inside the pudding. I realised years later it was probably burnt core or pips but I still can't deal with it. And that reminds me, pink sponge with strawberry custard and green sponge with mint custard!

Another vote for syrup sponge with custard, good old fashioned English pud!

mrsBtheparker · 02/07/2020 21:18

Not a great pudding person but when I make Delia's Little Sticky Toffee puddings I make an exception! I also double the sauce recipe, it seems a popular move.

Roominmyhouse · 02/07/2020 21:19

I don’t think I can pick between lemon tart and sticky toffee pudding. Both with cream please!

WanderingMilly · 02/07/2020 21:20

My favourite is called "fairy pudding", it's an old recipe from MIL (when I was married) and involves a type of lemony sorbet-type centre with a real custard (made with eggs, sugar and cream etc. not modern custard) sauce poured round.
Sadly I lost the recipe and haven't been able to make it for years....

BonestoBones · 02/07/2020 21:21

I love cheesecake except orange or strawberry flavours why they exist I don't know.

I also made a bread and butter pudding but with scones at they needed using up. It was fucking lovely. I highly recommend.

rottiemum88 · 02/07/2020 21:24

Summer - tarte au citron
Winter - rhubarb crumble and custard

I'm with you. No sweet tooth unless you count wineHmm

BobbinThreadbare123 · 02/07/2020 21:29

Lemon tart
Sticky toffee pudding
Chocolate brownie with peanut butter ice-cream
Cheesecake - pretty much any but this beast www.maryberry.co.uk/recipes/desserts/heavenly-lemon-cheesecake-on-a-ginger-crust is the absolute dog's bollocks

IncorrigibleTitmouse · 02/07/2020 21:35

Oooh...chocolate sponge pudding with custard, praline and caramel roulade, crème brûlée with a really solid top, dark chocolate torte with raspberry coulis... I think I have a problem! I live in the US now, and dessert is one of the things I miss most about the UK. Sweet things are almost universally shit here.

MinnieJackson · 02/07/2020 21:36

Creme brulee

MinnieJackson · 02/07/2020 21:38

@IncorrigibleTitmouse I've heard so many bad things about American sweets! Are they really that bad? I imagine them to taste synthetic but what about homemade ones like cobblers and pies?

Starbuggy · 02/07/2020 21:39

Banoffee pie

I’m very upset that Asda have taken it off their website for home delivery ( or my local one has anyway). Not even unavailable, just not there at all Sad

longcoffee · 02/07/2020 21:40

Waaaaaaaaah! I'm so huuuuungry!

All of them. All the puddings.

SillyBub · 02/07/2020 21:44

I very, very rarely have a pud, but if any of these are on the menu, I'll succumb to the temptation.

Lemon cheesecake
Affogato
Lemon tart
Rhubarby things that aren't too sweet.

Basically I like my puddings tart or espressoey!

rabbitheadlights · 02/07/2020 21:52

Not a huge pudding fan and usually go for the cheese board .... However a homemade Manchester tar with lashings of custard!! Yes please

rabbitheadlights · 02/07/2020 21:52

Tart**

MrsAvocet · 02/07/2020 21:53

Impossible to choose! If I had to pick one, probably creme brulee but it would be difficult to think of a dessert I don't like to be honest. Another serious contender is the walnut and maple ice cream that they serve at a little restaurant near us. I have had the same flavour elsewhere and its nice enough, but never as good as this particular place.
I used to be a big sponge pudding fan. My Mum's homemade sponge puddings were incredible and she had quite a repetoire. I have never had any as good since she died though, so I am always slightly disappointed and rareky pick them now.

bluechameleon · 02/07/2020 21:54

Banoffee pie is definitely up there. Other contenders are profiteroles, bread and butter pudding and rhubarb crumble.

LellyMcKelly · 02/07/2020 21:54

Apple crumble
Rhubarb crumble
Blackberry crumble

Served with lashings of hot Custard. Food of the gods.
