Sweet
Even those who claim not to have a sweet tooth will find it impossible to resist Delia's fabulous sweet offerings, from cakes to ice cream, crumbles to creamy fruit puddings.
Serves 6Coffee Cappuccino Creams with Cream and Sweet Coffee Sauce
If you are a coffee fan, this is the coffee dessert – the best ever! It is based on an old-fashioned recipe for honeycomb mould, which sometimes separates into layers but sadly often doesn't. Therefore, I have now given up on layers because, anyway,
Serves 8Chocolate Blancmange with Cappuccino Sauce
I have had a long association with chocolate blancmange: I've always wanted it desperately, but never been able to make it successfully. I've been down the cornflour and milk or cream route – with cocoa or melted chocolate – and when we worked on the
Serves 6Hot Citrus Pudding
This delightful hot pudding full of fresh citrus flavours is very light and fluffy and has the advantage of emerging from the oven in a pool of its own sauce. Then all it needs is some chilled pouring cream.
Serves 6Mincemeat and Apple Crumble Flan with Almonds

Serves 8Canary Puddings with Lemon Curd Topping
With a name like this, it's hardly surprising that Canary puddings are such a hit in the restaurant at Norwich City FC. Whether you're a Norwich supporter or not, this dessert will score every time!

Light and lovely, American muffins are a real teatime treat - and you can add different variations to the basic muffin mix depending on what's available or in season.
Makes 24Apricot and Nut Crunchies
One of the quickest and easiest recipes on record - so there's no excuse for not keeping the biscuit tin topped up with these teatime goodies. Use whatever combination of fruit and nuts you like!
