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 4St Stephen's Pudding
This lovely traditional Christmas pudding is a good bet for those who don't like the richness of a traditional plum pudding, yet still want the elements of it - steaming, apples, raisins - in their Christmas Day dessert.

This beautiful cake makes a welcome change from a standard fruit cake at Christmas, but is still full of boozy fruit and flavour!
Serves 6Spiced Fig Pudding with Cumberland Rum Butter
Those who aren't too keen on a traditional rich, dark Christmas pud may find this lighter, spicier version more to their liking.
Serves 4Christmas Easy: Spiced Cranberry and Orange Jellies with Frosted Cranberries
These light, refreshing jellies would make a welcome break from rich Christmas food over the festive period and are pretty enough to serve at a special-occasion dinner. Make them the day before for hassle-free entertaining.
Serves 6-8Darina Allen's Gluten-free Chocolate Fudge Pudding
Those with a gluten intolerance often have to just sit and watch while others tuck into gorgeous puddings. Not here: this chocolate fudge pudding by Darina Allen allows everyone to join in and is well worth making.
Serves 8-10Christmas Easy: The Delia Christmas Pudding
For 40 years, the nation has been making this pudding, which tastes even better if you prepare it a few weeks before Christmas then leave it in a cool place to mature. Delia has also given instructions to make this gluten-free.
Serves 4Steamed Raisin Pudding with Port Wine Sauce
This lovely steamed pudding is made without sugar - so is ideal for diabetics. The sweet element is provided by the plump raisins, while the sauce adds the finishing touch.
Serves 4Baked Apples with Pecans and Maple Syrup
Just three ingredients here, but they meld together beautifully to create a simple, yet simply stunning, dessert that has more than a hint of Americana!
Serves 6Pear Charlotte
Apple charlotte is an old favourite, but when pears are in season and you've had your fill of poached pears and pears with chocolate sauce, use them to make a charlotte.
