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 6Lemon and Lime Refrigerator Cake
This recipe was requested via e-mail by Jamie Sherwin. I love having your Cooks' Questions requests, as I haven't made one of these cakes for years and I've forgotten how good it is. Don't forget to start the night before you want it though.
Serves 6Pink Champagne Jellies with Champagne Cream
This is a tried and trusted recipe and one of my personal favourites. The Champagne cream is best made at the last minute, with Champagne from a freshly opened bottle – it's a great experience actually eating it with all the bubbles in it, and you ca
Serves 4Port and Claret Jellies
All that's involved here is a quick-dissolving packet jelly and a generous amount of port and claret. For this reason it is strictly an adult jelly, so I'm afraid drivers will have to have something else.
Serves 6-8Chunky Apple and Mincemeat Sponge Pudding
This is a winner for a family Sunday lunch. Because it's a light sponge, it's not as devastatingly calorific as a suet pud. It also has the advantage of being blissfully simple, taking only 5 minutes to mix from start to finish.
Makes 12Festive Sugar Plums
These are great to serve with coffee and drinks after dinner, and are so simple - they're literally made in moments.
Serves 4Apple and Orange Crunch
I like this crunchy pudding, served with proper custard sauce or, failing that, a thick pouring cream.
Serves 4Traditional Apple Charlotte
A glorious combination of crisp buttery bread crust and soft fragrant apples makes this a wonderful family dessert during the apple season and beyond. Just add cream!
Makes 12Home-made Crumpets
Why bother making them? Well, try this recipe and you'll soon see why. For very little time, effort and money, you'll make crumpets that are infinitely better than anything in the shops. Spread with butter for a real treat.
Serves 6Spiced Bread Pudding with Brandy Cream
Sometimes this gets confused with bread-and-butter pudding, but it's quite different. It was invented, I think, to use up stale bread, which is still a good reason for making it – however, it has developed into something so wonderful, it's worth lett
Serves 4Mini Christmas Puddings
The perfect Christmas pud for busy people - you can forget all that stirring and macerating with this one! Quick and easy...and it cooks in an hour! If you want to make it ahead it freezes well.
