Make ahead puddings for freezer please

[lilolilmanchester]

Have 2 weekends away coming up and need puddings, preferably which I can make ahead and freeze, and which will travel well (ie nothing sloppy if it defrosts en route). Or part make ahead with limited time (and facilities) to finish off.

One weekend is for 4 people, the other for 13 - 15.

Apple crumble already in the freezer and wondering what else?

white choc cheescake,~

just made one last week - froze a couple of slices for dd who's away at school - defrost slowly - fab.

also you can make it in a dish - shouldn't get too warm on the way either - depends how long your journey is!

that sounds nice, didn't realise you could freeze cheesecake. It would be fine for one of the weekends, journey couple of hours. Much longer this weekend. Do you have a recipe please (I know I could google but would like one that I know someone else has frozen successfully). Even if I don't use it for the weekends away, sounds like a good one to have in the freezer for Christmas.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

enjoy

ingredients

225g/8oz Hobnobs
100g/4oz butter, melted

300g/10oz white chocolate, chopped
200g soft cheese (philly full fat) room temp
25g/1oz caster sugar
500ml double cream

line 23cm round loose base or springform cake time

make biscuits into crumbs and mix with melted butter
spoon and press into base of tin and chill in fridge while making the filling

melt chocolate in bowl over simmering water and leave to cool until tepid

beat soft cheese and sugar together until smooth and then stir in cooled chocolate

whip cream into very soft peaks and gently fold into chocolate mix

spoon into tin, smooth over top and pop in fridge for at least 2-3 hrs but at least overnight

take out of fridge 15-30 minutes before serving

this comes from a thread on here...can't remember who posted it.

I use digestives instead of hobnobs.

Also can make it in a dish if necessary - just have to dig it out rather than slice it!

thanks for posting this so quickly. Which white chocolate did you use? Have heard mixed stories about melting white chocolate.
I will definitely make this, so please don't be offended if I ask for other ideas, for hot puds as well as cold.

Chilled Lemon Flan.

Make biscuit base, 8oz crushed digestives, 4 oz melted butter and 2 somethings of sugar, into fluted flan dish and cook for 10mins. when cool add topping. Can of condensed milk, carton of cream, zest of 3 large lemons mixed together. Add juice of the 3 lemons slowly, mixing bit at a time, till stiff.

Freezes and solid enough when defrosted not to slop anyway (but not solid enough to be pressed out of a loose bottom'd dish)

thanks, another scrummy make ahead suggestion! Any ideas anyone for hot desserts which can be frozed and successfully re-heated (apart from crumble)

thanks

Chocolate bread and butter pudding is lovely, it is a Delia recipe from her Winter ollection (iirc). Also it needs making about 48 hours in advance anyway so you may get away with making it and not freezing it, tho it would freeze well. Delicious hot with cream, am making one for a friend's birthday dinner in a couple of weeks. Let me know if you would like the recipe.

I've got the book MingMing, thanks. Infact I could make that once I get there couldn't I cos it doesn't need any special equipment. That would only be 24 hours ahead, but am sure it would be ok?

I have made it 24 hours in advance and it was lovely. It travels well too as it does not slosh around in the dish iyswim, but equally easy to make there as you don't need anything complicated to make it - it really is very easy (and yummy!)

lilo i use any old white choc, quite honestly, - melt it in a bowl over saucepan full of water. Turn off the heat once the choc starts to melt...then keep mixing the choc til it's all smooth.
