What's your go to never fail easy dessert for an evening meal you are hosting? Its got to be made not bought.

Easy tiramisu, I replace some of the coffee with Kahlua and sometimes crumble a flake over the top

Pears poached in red wine for a light winter pudding.
Deconstructed pavlova - berries, whipped cream and Greek yoghurt, broken up chocolate meringues and fruit coulis - in summer, great to let people be as healthy or not as they want.
Triple ginger cheesecake with baked rhubarb.

This baked trifle - can be done in advance and then just topped with cream. It’s never let me down.

@eatreadsleeprepeat- I don’t suppose you have a recipe for your ginger cheesecake please?

Bread and butter pudding
Pineapple and ginger Pavlova
Tropical Eton Mess
Passion Fruit Semi fredo
Treacle Sponge
Lemon mousse cake
Plum Crumble

Winter - apple crumble (sometimes with added raspberries or blueberries if I’ve got some in the fridge). I always make a big batch of crumble mix in the food processor and keep it frozen so usually have some on hand.

Summer - chocolate roulade. A lovely light but chocolatey dessert and can be made in the morning/left in the fridge.

I don't think I've made choux since I had to go gluten free. About time I had a go I think!

I really ought to add a spring tin to my collection
