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?

Thank you Yesterdayforgotten

I shall give it a try!

For now my winning pudding will have to do - brioche with Nutella, broken into pieces and heated up with a little bit of custard

Lemon meringue pie.

elle27 · 03/07/2020 21:30

Creme brûlée, profiteroles or crepes with strawberries and Nutella

Longdistance · 03/07/2020 21:32

Sticky toffee pudding and custard
Cherry pie and custard
Vanilla Panna cotta With a really fruity sharp sauce

Hot homemade apple crumble with cold custard

Bargebill19 · 03/07/2020 21:37

I have no favourites, I would happily eat all of them stretched out to the moon and back.

@Turnedouttoes my ed is df and was really missing dairy. We are now able to buy Elmlea plant based double cream which is whippable and tastes pretty much like the real thing. I did a Victoria sponge with jam and cream and it was like the real thing. There is also Oatly creme fraiche, and you can also get squirty df cream in a can. Do not miss out on your fave puddings!

As for mine, it's pretty much ALL the ones mentioned, but it's between trifle and Black Forest gateaux mmmmm!

Rhubarb Crumble with ice cream Smile

OldLace · 03/07/2020 21:54

@SillyBub

YES! Puddings should be fruity and tart (lemon tart, summer pudding)
with a little creme fraiche
OR coffee / chocolate (both dark / strong / not too sweet)
So, little French chocolate pots with brandy over
OR proper home made Tiramisu or Zabaglione

PolloDePrimavera · 03/07/2020 21:55

If find it easier to say top ten.
Tiramisu
Anything with custard
Lemon meringue pie
Cheesecake
Profiteroles
Ride pudding
Chocolate torte
Lemon tart
Strawberry fondue
Trifle

Yikes.

Rhubarb crumble no competition. Sometimes with ice cream, sometimes custard, sometimes both.

I am glad we are all just politely turning our eyes from the person whose contribution to this imaginative buffet was a handful of cherry tomatoes. Bless.

Egghead68 · 03/07/2020 22:37

Any pudding with cream in.

VeniceQueen2004 · 03/07/2020 22:38

For my part, I'm torn between the best of stodge (bread and butter pudding or sticky toffee pudding with custard) vs the best of frippery (sherry trifle or bnnoffee pie).

Whoever said Cafe Reale at Pizza Express YES. Love that.

And it was probably shit in reality but when I was a child I was sometimes permitted to order The Rocky Horror at Harvester and remember it as being ENORMOUS and the height of decadent luxury. Do these still exist?

nokidshere · 03/07/2020 22:39

I love banoffi pie but if I had to choose just one thing it would be cherry clafoutis yummm

MikeFromSpaced · 03/07/2020 22:42

bestbrowsintown Gypsy tart. Was my favourite! Waitrose do a salted chocolate and caramel tart that tastes vaguely similar.

I love a chocolate torte with a dollop of cream.

MikeFromSpaced · 03/07/2020 22:45

And if I go to pizza express I will always have chocolate fudge cake with mascapone.

venice they still do rocky horror at harvester, but it’s half the size. Pfft!

Inextremis · 03/07/2020 22:48

Creme brûlée
Lemon Meringue Pie
New York Cheesecake

PolloDePrimavera · 03/07/2020 22:53

OMG I forgot bread and butter pudding!

louisethedisease · 03/07/2020 22:59

Panna cotta

Aventurine · 03/07/2020 23:39

The choc chip sponge and custard at my secondary school in the 80s

littlealexhorne · 03/07/2020 23:54

It has to be sticky toffee pudding - I'm hungry now!

LunaLoveFood · 03/07/2020 23:55

Apple crumble and custard, but with a higher ratio of crumble to apple with oats mixed in to make it gooey. not that I'm fussy or anything

Animum2 · 04/07/2020 09:09

I'm gonna add

Bread and butter pudding
New York vanilla cheesecake
Apple Crumble with ice cream
