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.
Chocolate Drop Mini Muffins with Red Noses
So easy to make and so satisfying to eat: these mini muffins are truly sensational and will go down well with just about everyone!
Spotted Dick Rides Again
Rib-sticking stuff - but not to be underestimated on a cold January day. In fact, it's well overdue for a revival... Serve with lashings of custard.
Saint Geran Molasses Sugar Dessert
Tastes of Mauritius: an Indian Ocean variation on the brandy snap, filled with ice cream then topped with bananas in rum. A great dessert for any time of year that will elicit plenty of approval from all who eat it!
Classic Creme Caramel
Wobbly and light - and a great dessert if you're watching the pennies - this creme caramel is a true nursery pudding classic, loved by people of all ages.
Iced Christmas Pudding with Glace Fruits
Christmas pud with a difference: rum and coconut ice cream, with rum-soaked fruit...what could make a more delectable change from the traditional steamed version at the end of a rich meal?
Creme brulee
The availability of a cook's blow torch has made it much easier to create a crunchy topping for this favourite dessert, but if you don't have one, just make caramel instead, pour it over and leave it to set.
Chocolate Creme Brulees
The ubiquitious creme brulee is given a welcome twist in this recipe with the addition of chocolate, making it even more of a treat! And Delia has found a brilliant cheat method for the caramel topping...
Buche de Noel (Chocolate Chestnut Log)
Light and lovely, this chocolate chestnut log would make a great centrepiece at a Christmas party.
Warm Chocolate Rum Souffles with Chocolate Sauce
Light and lovely, these beautiful little souffles have the added attraction of being less likely to collapse than a standard version. Hand round chocolate sauce and cream for even more luxury (not to mention calories!)
Hot Lemon Curd Souffles
Another souffle recipe that is perfect for entertaining as it doesn't collapse, allowing you time to get the dessert on to the table. The hot lemon curd is a revelation!
