After conversations with Belle on Sunday, we wondered what would be everyones fave pudding? And do you do custard?

Not a big fan of puddings myself.

You wouldn't be.

Puddings are just empty calories...pure fruit...so much more enjoyable...so much healthier :thumbsup:

me neither but I will not usually knock bavk a cherry cheese cake or ice cream. :banana:

I love bread and butter pudding, it's my favourite pudding.

I don't eat it nearly enough.

I don't have it with custard but i like custard on it's own.

I seem to enjoy Cheesecake more than any other.

ROFLMAO.

Bread & butter pudding, no custard.

Here are a few

Creme Brulee - after having one in a Parisien Resturant - lush
Chocalate Roulade - Not the swiss roll type things

and good old Treacle sponge

Puddings. Love 'em but generally I'm too full from a main course to eat one!

Bread and butter pudding with ice cream. Yum.
Egg custards.
Milk puddings - Semolina, rice pudding etc. Not too keen on tapiocca.
Cremola.
Crumble - any sort of fruit crumble is great. With custard natch.
Apple Snow.
Trifle.
Steamed puddings (treacle sponges and the like) with loads of custard.
Cheesecake.
Gateaux.
Ice cream Sundaes.

Oh - I'm really hungry now.

Nomme

mm puddings

well i like tiramisu (especially from trattoria sorrento) but that's a dessert really

so it would have to be crumble - especially apple or rhubarb, with custard or natural yoghurt (left over in the morning with yoghurt is best though)

I love sweet food. I couldn't possibly narrow it down to one pudding. So:

Lemon Meringue
Fruit crumble (most varieties)
Chocolate cake (most varieties eg. Chocolate fudge cake, sponge, tart etc)
Cheesecake (most varieties)
Profiteroles
Gateaux
Ice cream
Brownies
Treacle sponge

And I do have custard where appropriate eg. with fruit crumbles and sponges. Otherwise cream, like with cheesecakes.
Hmmm, puddings... Yum yum.

All puddings are great! Mostly with cream and ice cream but also custard for the hot sponges... mmm... hot sponges...

My fave has got to be cheesecake (any kind really!).

Also quite like bread and butter pudding (but only my Mums).

I don't really do the custard thing very often as I much prefer cream!

Feel hungry now.............
:)

I don't do puddings very often only ususally when out.
Faves
Lemon meringue pie
Chocolate fudge cake/death by chocolate
Apple/rhubarb crumble
Apple pie
Ice Cream/Viennetta

I don't do cream or custard, but do like ice cream with them sometimes.

Francos on Crookes does amazing puddings, some people just go in for them. They are ice cream sundae things with what ever type of chocolate you want in them my fave ones are the chocolate ones with maltesers, buttons, caramel and crunchie in them.

Welcome back to Sheffield Agent Dan.

By the way, prefer glass of whine to dessert.

Would that be a pint venger?

I don't normally bother with dessert.

Just started cooking and my first foray was a lemon + lime tart with limocello - absolutely gorgeous and best pud i had yet. Next is Choc sponge with choc fondant icing and cherry sauce - going to bring both to CRB on 11th jan

Starchild you inspire me really!
Fruit over pudding.... New York... Def Leppard (ok Owls but no-ones perfect! :thumbsup:

mmmm desserts and puddings!!

I love teh heinz Chocolate sponge pudding with Birds Custard, generally i can only eat half of it.
I love semonlina, and cheesecake, and chocolate fudge cake and brownies and apple pies and apple crumbles and fresh fruit with cream particularly strawberries and I LOVE trifle.
I like tiramisu and lemoncello. I love strawberry syllabub and knickerbocker glories and mint choc chip icecream.

So when I say my arse is the size of a small country y'all know why!!

Moon

it's a shame you cant have a healthy balanced diet on puddings alone seeing as there is such a huge variety and choice

Without doubt my most favourite dessert is apple crumble - followed closely by rhubarb crumble.

oh yes strawberries, just strawberries nothing on them, maybe with some grapes. i have this at lunch at work.

Concerning crumbles:

How much crumble to fuit should the percentage ratio be? I love the crumble part of the pudding btu find too uch fruit and it's very soggy.

I find that 70%crumble to 30% fruit makes the best type of crumble, with plenty of custard!

Your opinions?

Wilf

I prefer more fruit, and i make the crumble bit with less fat than recipe and put in some oats to make healthier. Very nice occasionally.

Rice pudding with a great big dollop of strawberry jam in the middle. Then swirl the said jam around until the pudding has gone a lovely shade of pink.

YES! YES! YES!
love them, anything with chocolate will do me :bigsmile:

Depends what kind of restaurant i go to. Since my male companion is of a limited palate if its italian ill have tiramisu and if its english id have syrup (not treacle) sponge.

My faves are

Steamed treacke/chocolate pudding
Sara lee chocolte Gateau
bananas and custard




*hint hint hint MUM*

Fletch

Apple pie and ice cream (From Strines inn, best I've ever tasted)

Ben and Jerrys Cherry Garcia.
