On the menu tonight....Need pudding ideas

[Melman Giraffe]

Friends coming over for dinner tonight and decided to cook the following...


Pan seared Scallops with black pudding on a Pea puree with micro herbs.

Fillet steak with tripple cooked chips and a pepper corn sauce.

Not sure what to do for pudding. Any ideas?

It's a nice, sunny, end of autumn day. Blackberry ice cream?

Great idea but......

Don't have an icecream maker.

Maybe a granita

Buy some good quality vanilla ice cream and then add your own flavourings and flair to it. Maybe make some spun sugar lattices to accompany as well, always impressive

Coconut and nutmeg ice cream.

Can of coconut milk, can of condensed sweetened milk, can of unsweetened condensed milk. Grate of nutmeg, dash of almond extract.

Mix. Freeze

Whisk when nearly solid

Freeze

Grate lime zest over to serve.

Dead easy, very delicious.

Further to that, Aldi's basic vanilla ice cream at £1 for 2 litres is absuloutely delicious. As good as the Wall's or 'finest' ranges from the big 4.

Something to cut the richness of the preceding courses, such as lemon tart or a very dark chocolate mousse.

Bananas Foster. Chuck a load of brown sugar and butter in a pan and heat until it becomes toffee. Throw in a load of bananas sliced in half longways and mix it all up until everything is hot and sticky. Serve with a large dollop of the best vanilla ice cream you can find or an equally large dollop of chilled clotted cream. Takes about 5 minutes.

I am loving the idea of that, done on the side burner on the BBQ after fireworks with pork and apple baps.

I agree with MC. Lemon posset is easier than making toast.
