Picked lots and lots of raspberries and loganberries from the canes in the garden this afternoon, they’re doing really well. Lots more to come yet. So, you know what I’m going to say now don’t you! Yes, I made some raspberry ice cream! It thickened up so nicely in the...
Puddings / Desserts
Another successful experiment. Mandarin ice cream, 17p
Although I have four extremely large tins of mandarins, I opened a much smaller one yesterday to try mandarin flavour ice cream. I had the second pot of double cream to use, but no more yogort. So I thought I’d try it with just cream to see what the difference was....
A versatile Peanut mousse that can be sweet or savoury, 7p a serving
That delicious looking pudding was what I had yesterday at Galin. Peanut mousse with banana cake and caramel sauce. It was wonderful and inspired me to see if I could recreate the mousse. It was super smooth, mildly peanutty and a bit buttery. I asked the owner when...
Peanut butter and jam mug cake, mmm, too easy
I was inspired to try this pudding this evening by Skint Mum over on the Skint Dad blog who made a chocolate mug cake. DP is mad on peanut butter on toast at the moment, so I made this peanut butter and jam version. I used a large mug and put into it 2 tbslp sugar 2...
An outstanding chocolate roulade
This is a quality pudding, that really will serve 10. Lovely on its own, even better with a dollop of cream or ice cream.
Muscovado and mixed fruit pudding, with double cream, 32p

Coffee semi-freddo, 26p each, and a chocolate version, 37p
Coffee yogort sounds a bit strange I know, but it tastes really good. I had a little after dinner this evening and it was delicious
A reprise on semi-freddo, and lots more flavour ideas
Remember this? Instant semi-freddo After dinner this evening, DP announced that he wanted a pudding. He was angling after a crumble, but I really didn’t want to make one. So I dug out a bag of mixed berries from the freezer, picked out all the strawberries and whizzed...
Muscovado and Red Fruit Cheesecake, 50p a serving with the fruit, 33p without
A no-bake cheesecake, topped with a fruit compote, or what you will. Very moreish, so I only make it in small portions!
Apples again – baked sponge with an apple base, and compote with raisin pancakes
apple sponge done in the microwave, and apple compote with mixed spice, served with raisin pancakes – yum
