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.
Makes about 6Canadian Buttermilk Pancakes with Maple Syrup
The Canadian bit comes from the maple syrup - that sticky, sweet, caramelly ingredient that lifts pancakes into the realm of the heavenly. Using buttermilk makes pancakes particularly light and moreish.
Makes 18Chocolate Almond Crunchies
You really don't want these in the house if you're watching your weight as it's impossible to eat just one! Made with chocolate and almonds, they are quite irresistible and can be made with chocolate chips for a child-friendly version.
Makes 16Chocolate Chip Ginger Nuts
Chocolate and ginger is a marriage made in heaven, so combine them in these irresistible little biscuits... impossible to eat just one!
Serves 6-8Chocolate Mascarpone Cheesecake with Fruit and Nuts served with Creme Fraiche
OK, this isn't the healthiest dessert on record, but we all deserve a no-holds-barred bit of indulgence now and then. Anyone who loves chocolate will thrill to this wonderful baked cheesecake. To avoid it cracking, allow to cool in the oven.
Serves 6Melting Chocolate Risotto
Although risotto is usually savoury, think rice pudding and you'll get the point of this lovely, unusual chocolate dessert.
Serves 6Raspberry Crumble
Raspberries may not be the obvious choice for a crumble, but their sharpness perfectly offsets the sweetness and texture of the topping. Give it a go!
Serves 8Cappuccino Cheesecakes
Make these the day before you want to eat them: creamy, luxurious and so special, these lovely low-fat cheesecakes are the perfect treat for dieters!
Serves 6Mascarpone Creams and Caramel Sauce with Caramelised Hazelnuts
Creamy mascarpone, luscious caramel, crunchy hazelnuts: this is a truly memorable dessert combining very special flavours and textures.
Serves 4-6Irish Coffee Pudding
This lovely pudding is really an old-fashioned honeycomb mould - giving you a light option at the end of a rich meal.
Makes approximately 36Irish Whiskey Truffles
Home-made chocolates make a luxurious gift and can be stashed away in the freezer if you want to make them ahead. You can use rum or brandy instead of whiskey if you prefer.
