Your favourite dessert receipe

[Tobermory]

We're going to friends for lunch tomorrow and I offered to take pudding. Am quite out of the habit of making puds due to constant diet or economy drive so drawing a complete blank as to what to make.
DH likes old fashioned sponge type things but I'd rather do cold, cheesecake etc.
Could also do with not spending huge amounts on ingredients!

Would be very grateful for your ideas

I made this pavlova yesterday to take to a dinner party.

twas absolutely dead easy - it was the first time I'd done meringue - and was really, really nice with double cream on top and strawberries - and it looked good. I was well impressed with myself and will definitely be doing it more often.

my all time favourite

It's in his great british classics book.

Banoffee Pie. V easy.

Base of crushed digestives mixed with melted butter.
Layer of boiled in the tin condensed milk, you can buy it ready done ( carnation)
Layer of cutted up bananas
Layer of whipped cream
Sprinkling of grated choccy

Ha, I came on to say banoffee pie! Just follow weevil's recipe, I usually boil the tin of condensed milk for 2 hours and it comes out perfect!

I make a chocolate sponge in a pudding bowl, let it go cool then pour a couple of good expressos all over it. Smother with whipped cream and dust with crumbled flake. Retro or what?!

That sounds wicked gas, but dont have rum.

Trying really hard with this bold thing! Argh! I keep getting it wrong!

gas

Thanks everyone. My DH decided he really wanted a banana split, so easy pud it was!! Have made a list though of some of your ideas for nxt time. Thank you!
