Quite a few mentions of creme brulee. Not sure if it would be a tad sickly for me. Still like to try it, though.

I can't decide between Black Forest Gateau and Cheesecake.

Thankyou Queenshaks.

I've just read that the recipe has eggs and I had never thought of adding those. Mums had a thickened texture but whenever I have tried to guess make it, it just comes out as cooked pasta swimming about in milk.. lol.

Cheers for that, will try!

[Orangemaid]

whenever i go out for a meal, which is rare, i always ask for the apple crumble and caramel sauce..its yum..i make it myself too sometimes, but i do prefer eating it out

[cakehole]

Sticky toffee pud. I've had bad ones when out but when its got right its sublime.

Blackberry and Apple crumble as back up.

You're welcome. The eggs should thicken the sauce.

Either Rum Baba or a Fantasy Island (it was a dessert served in Berni Inns back in the 70s/80s).

I had that at school,as well as arctic roll,jam or treacle tart(can't remember exactly)with cornflakes on top,and at secondary had chocolate rice krispie cakes

[Orangemaid]

Sticky toffee puddig ( Asda's frozen lol)..I know not home made but for quickness i just ate one now, with custard..( I home made the custard and was just right )

[daisiesfan]

Sticky toffee pudding, with cream. Mmmm

[littlefro]

Apple and date crumble with custard from school, I really should google a recipe. Now it's gooseberry crumble with single cream.

[Xxino]

Apple pie with clotted cream.

[Kerang]

Homemade rice pudding, crumble or cheesecake.

[Quickblood]

Strawberry Gateau is my absolute favourite desert especially from Patisserie Valerie, I'd put their Selva Gateau a very close second.

I also adore a properly made sherry trifle.

[RAINBOWGIRL22]

I never used to be much of a dessert person and I'd rarely have dessert... Maybe occasionally we'd get a Key Lime Pie and I'd always have Baklava if I went for Greek / Turkish!

Since being preggers though I am a dessert fiend.

I could have something sweet after every meal

My current fave is is the humble cream slice http://greenhillsmarket.files.wordpr...nc3a7ais_1.jpg

But I am also in love with chocolate melting pots and vanilla cream.

Of course I still Key Lime Pie and Baklava.

Also had an amazing carrot cake recently, I've never really liked carrot cake before?

I want cake now

[Orangemaid]

rhubbab crumble and ice cream, was another favourite..yum lol

I remember chocolate crunch but we had 'Jungle Juice' with it. That was made as though it was custard but instead of milk, with dilute orange squash. Lovely.

My all time favourite though is bread and butter pudding and custard. My late aunt used to butter the bread and then zzzed it up into breadcrumbs, instead of full bread and butter pieces. This made the pudding very light and fluffy.

[julicova]

Pavlova with grapes and cream

Fruit tarts with creme patisserie between the fruit and the pastry

Strawberry shortcake with whipped double cream

Vanilla ice cream with hot dark chocolate sauce

Custard tart with nutmeg

Brandy snaps filled with whipped cream

Gateaux loaded up with fruit and cream

Zabaglione - fab Italian pudding made with egg yolks, Marsala wine and double cream

I guess you could say I love cream!!!

[Mrs de Winter]

So many! Even though I love chocolate, when it comes to desserts I favour fruity ones:

Apple strudel (need to go back to Austria ASAP!)
Apple pie
Cherry clafoutis
Pavlova with a lots of fruit and fruit sauce/coulis
Fruity cheesecake (preferably raspberry, with plenty of sauce/coulis)
Eton mess (with lots of fruit!)

Yes, there's a slight theme - I love raspberries and fruity sauces

[Welsh-lad]

I like sticky-toffee pudding with proper home-made custard.

Also love the school 'chocolate pudding' they make in oblong aluminium trays, served with sweet white sauce.
They have it at my school about once a month. I'm forewarned by the cooks, and that's the day I always choose to eat in the canteen

[Juliet_G_]

This is very specific & a bit fancy, & I'll maybe never have it again , but had the most lush dessert ever last weekend; butterscotch tart with chocolate drizzle, served with a brandy basket filled with pear sorbet. Absolutely phenomenal.

[Studmuffin]

White chocolate and ginger cheesecake
Rhubarb crumble and cream (not clotted, I hate clotted cream)

I despise trifle, anything with apples in and custard.

[Sweet FA]

Apple crumble with custard. Might see if Iceland have any Aunt Bessie's in later on - yum!

[MissMusique]

I think my favourite would be creme brulee especially with lavender!

I made my very first dessert the other day though - for my uncle's birthday present! I did poached pears with a reduced red wine sauce and vanilla ice cream. I know it's not very tricky, but I have this fear of making desserts so I wanted to start with something simple!
Whilst the pears took WAY longer to poach than the recipe-recommended 25 mins (more like 90) the sauce was yummy
