Inspired by all the mentions of pudding after dinner on another thread - what do you all give as pudding?

[lisalisa]

The title says it all really. I used to love puddings whilst a child but haven't really got into making them as a mum . i often sense my dcs would love something sweet after the meal and I generally allow fruit or yoghurt or small bag of ceereal if they have eaten well and are still hungry.

What kind of puddings do you offer and are they real puddings?...........

Very occasionally I make a real pudding like apple crumble. Otherwise it's something like a petit filous or maybe a jelly, or fruit. My two usually have supper as well before they go to bed which means milk and a biscuit, or some cereal.

Usually yoghurt/fruit/icecream, sometimes make things like apple crumble, rice pudding (often with some cocoa chucked in), cheesecake and lots of banana splits!

We are the same as you lisalisa, the children are offered fruit and yoghurt. I only make puddings for special occasions or if we have visitors and usually the children would rather have icecream even then - quite often have "make your own knicker bocker glories" where I put out icecream jelly fruit sprinklings and sauce and they do their own thing. Occasionally have treacle pudding and that is popular

Fruit, yogurt, icecream usually.

Cake or gateux if we've been to the supermarket that sells the lovely cakes and gateux.

Pastries or baked sweets sometimes.

Actual pudding once in a while.

Another yoghurt fan here, also wondering if there is something else to offer. However DS has turned his nose up at rice pud, custard and jelly. I keep trying, as these are the easist options and can have fruit added to vary them... it's great watching DS when I present him with a new pudding, he takes a tiny taste with a great look of suspicion. He liked apple pie mashed up with Mackies ice cream(& so did I!).

as most people, yoghurt and/or fruit

nursery do a very good line in Proper Puddings (and I have tried them, om nom nom ) so I don't feel dd i sdeprived...

champagnedahling - do tell about your treacle pudding - recipe please.............

Banana split is a good idea - have dd3's little friend coming today - that would be a nice treat for therm I htink....

but I want you all to tell me about jam roly polys and steamed sponge puddings. Oh please do...........

when I make steamed sponge pudding (in microwave, takes about 5min) it is usually for DH's benefit...

We usually only have a pudding after Sunday dinner and I might make a cake or a crumble or buy a nice cheesecake

Unfortunately, DS is mad about arctic roll and so I hereby have to confess to being a slummy, scummy mummy and evil
