Decadent desserts

[MsLuxLisbon]

Spin off from the decadent food thread. What are your go-to desserts for when you want to treat yourself?

Mine: Tarte tatin served with creme fraiche. Pavlova with strawberries and kiwi. Crepes suzette (hassle to make, but divine to eat) Chocolate mousse.

Traditional cheesecake.

Banoffee pie

Key lime pie.

Tarte Tatin but with clotted cream for me.
Or tiramisu 😋

Black Forest Gateau

More of an afternoon thing but scones with butter, jam and lashings of clotted cream

I adore BFG and it is very hard to come by these days!

@MsLuxLisbon agreed, although Asda did a decent Black Forest gateau around Christmas last couple of years

Love crepes Suzette, also a properly made profiterole pile up (with decent chocolate and cream) and a lightly flavoured (bay is lovely) creme brulee

Nigella's rhubarb and custard trifle. Its a faff to make but omg its so good. There's red vermouth in the jelly.

Pavlova

Tiramisu!

Pavlova with tonnes of cream and strawberries

Sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream

Apple crumble with warm custard

Another for Black Forest gateaux in all its retro chic glory.

I've thought of another: Lemon Meringue pie! Actually pretty easy to make but always draws gasps when wheeled out. Ditto Pecan pie. Not so keen on Pumpkin, though. I tried making it last autumn, it was a lot of effort but pretty 'meh'.

Another vote for Black Forest Gateau which I usually request for my birthday instead of sponge cake. I was under the impression it was going out in fashion, but glad to see lots of appreciation for it still.

Tiramisu
Creme Brulee
Delia's chocolate and rum bread and butter pudding served cold.

I see that I have listed all cold desserts. Hot desserts to me, tend to be more comforting rather than decadent.

Anything involving cream, booze, and fruit.

OP, I've always wanted someone to ask me this question. How long have you got?
COLD PUDDINGS
Creme brulee
Pavlova (you have to make these 2 together to use up the whites and yolks!)
Lemon Delicious pudding (where the pudding magically turns into both souffle sponge on top and lemon custard underneath)
Proper trifle
Tiramisu
Floating Islands
Summer pudding
Eton Mess
Roulade
Baked cheesecake (better than the non-baked variety) with cream and berries or fruit puree
Lemon syllabub with little biscuits
Strawberry shortcake and cream
Orange and almond syrup cake
HOT PUDDINGS
Queen of Puddings
Fruit crumbles
Ginger sponge with custard
Spotted Dick and custard
Syrup Sponge
Proper Bakewell Tart
Clafoutis
Fruit pie (apple, blackcurrant, damson)
Jam roly-poly

And those are just the ones I can think of. If I want an almost instant pudding I mix thick Greek yoghurt with good quality lemon curd (M & S's is lovely). You can make a crumbly biscuit base and add mango and lime syrup on top to make it less instant but absolutely heavenly.

Mmmmm...donuts.

Maybe in a slightly different category, but a really well made victoria sandwich with fresh vanilla double cream, whipped up on top and piled high with fresh berries.

Also, decadent but in a different way, a really lovely fruit salad with a wide (and expensive) range of fresh fruit. Always do that when I need a treat and eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner as it only lasts a day or so in the fridge and DH hates fruit!

Burnt basque cheesecake with berries and cream
Raspberry and almond tart with custard
Warm cookie dough with ice cream

Nigella’s Girdle buster pie…

BFG for the win. Proper trifle. Eton mess. Or a decent homemade banoffee pie 😍

Belgian chocolate cheesecake

Millionaire's cheesecake :)

Oh wow, you sound like my kind of person!!
