Quick desserts?

[storminabuttercup]

Looking for ideas for those moments when you have unexpected guests and need a quick pudding? :-D

Tinned fruit salad and ice cream with a wafer.

Eton Mess-supermarket meringue nests,longlife double or whipping cream and frozen summer fruits/mixed berries.

pancakes, serve with ice cream and frozen berries

Love all those ideas!!

Pancakes could be a winner today, I've got berries and ice-cream!

Frozen berries on a plate with equal quantities of white choc and double cream melted together and poured all over.
Heaven!

I always do eton mess on these sort of occasions - means I can rush it and if it looks a mess - well, then perfect!

blue2, classic!

I usually keep some decent ice cream and brownies hidden in the freezer, then you can make ice cream sundaes. I also keep extra pastry cases frozen which can be rolled out to make quick fruit tarts (bake pastry, whip mascarpone, sugar and egg yolks for filling, top with caramelized or fresh fruits)

Tip out/ scoop frozen yoghurt/icecream, top with berries and then ice magic (chocolate sauce which hardens, not sure if can get in UK) or normal chocolate sauce.
