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.
Makes 16Chocolate Marbled Energy Bars
High-energy snacks can be less than moreish - but we guarantee that everyone, whether they're in need of an after-sport pick-me-up or not - will just love Delia's chocolatey version.
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
If you've got leftover mincemeat this will cheer up a January Sunday lunch beautifully. A ready-made pastry flan case will also save you time, which we have discovered works really well when frozen first.
Iced Date and Walnut Cake
This is a very easy mixture to make and the tangy lemon in the icing on the finished cake contrasts beautifully with the spiciness.
Glazed Nut Topping
This is suitable for all cakes but is especially good on the Creole Christmas Cake, which is too rich to cope with marzipan or even sweet icing.
Serves 12Greek Orange and Honey Syrup Cake with Yoghurt and Pistachios
This cake is hugely popular all over the Eastern Mediterranean where local produce - oranges, honey, pistachios and yoghurt - are combined to make one glorious, syrup-soaked cake.
Serves 8Sachertorte
I don’t pretend that this is from the original recipe from the Hotel Sacher, in Vienna, where it is supposed to be a closely guarded secret. However, it is a very good variation. In Vienna, slices of Sachertorte are always served with a dollop of thi
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!
