What dessert can I make with store cupboard ingredients?

[sillytart]

Want to make a pudding/dessert tonight but have only the basic store cupboard ingredients. Any suggestions?

Rice pudding! Milk, butter, short-grain rice (but long-grain will do), nutmeg, sugar.... voila.

Should add that I have very basic ingredients, but also have
Cream
Bananas
Strawberries
Baileys
Chocolate (but not the 70% kind)
Mincemeat

pancakes

Chil1234 Thanks for quick response! Hubby doesn't like rice pudding I'm afraid.

What do you have? Flour, sugar, eggs, butter? Some, all or none? :)

Drink the Baileys, Eat the chocolate

Give Fruit to DCs (so guilt free)

Jobsagoodun...

Pancakes with fruit and cream?

whipped cream with dash of baileys on baked bananas?

chocolate dipped strabs?

basic sponge cake (eggs, butter, sugar, flour) with whipped cream & strabs?

pancakes with chocolate-baileys cream.
drooling already, even though it*s just chocolate custard tonight at this house...

snice - my first thought was pancakes, but don't know if I want them this close to Tues
Maybe I could do some sort od pancakes with banana & cream filling and a choc & baileys sauce? -

actually do what RustyRainbow says. Actually, if you neck the baileys you might not care about anyone elses pudding...problem solved

silly, what about american pancakes

1 cup of flour (selfraising)
1 egg
1tbs melted butter
1tbs sugar
half a tsp baking powder
a little milk (about half a cup)

peerie I have all!

rusty I like your thinking

How do you make mousse? do you need gelatin? (i dont have any)

Queen of Puddings?

Ingredients
1 pint (570 ml) milk
½ oz (10 g) butter
4 oz (110 g) fresh white breadcrumbs
2 oz (50 g) golden caster sugar, plus 1 teaspoon
grated zest of 1 small lemon
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons raspberry jam

Pineapple upside down cake?

Jam sponge 4 4 4 2 with a layer of jam at the bottom of the cake tin 6 6 6 3 if you have hungry children

should have said, kids are sorted so just for me & hubby

If you have jam/marmalade you could make Nigella's chocolate orange storecupboard cake, I think that's ok with 40% chocolate.

For those that can have raw eggs, chocolate mousse is basically egg whites, whipped cream and chocolate

These are yum, and should work with milk choc too

This uses the yolk and whites.

Thank you everyone, can't decide between the souffle or mousse . Some great ideas for when I get stuck again too, thanks again!
