I plan on having a final blow-out this weekend before I start tracking my food/diet again on Monday after a couple of weeks on holiday.

I am going to have a Sunday Roast on the Saturday evening and usually... this would be followed by something sweet !

The last favourite I had for this was Tesco Morello Cherry Bakewell Tart in the oven - served with extra thick double cream.

Last weekend I had some Fresh chocolate brownies nuked in the microwave with some ambrosia custard.

What is your favourite way to round off your roast dinners ? Looking for an epic final dessert that will keep me satisfied for a while.

Not that this helps at all but I simply can't fit in anything else after a proper roast. Haven't had one in a while but am scheduled for one on Sunday.

For me, hot chocolate fudge brownie with ice cream or steamed treacle (or toffee) pudding and custard. If that doesn't sort you out, nothing will.

Yes I know what you mean, I will feel physically sick afterwards and that's with a 1-2 hour breather between roast and pud !

Good Shout - treacle pudding and custard could be a candidate.

What ice cream are you pairing with your brownie ?

I always go with a plain vanilla but you can go all out with a chocolate explosion and go with chocolate ice cream. A bit of hot chocolate sauce on top too.

Fruit and 'desert' really doesn't compute with me. Bah.

Apple crumble and custard.

Loving the suggestion of a jam Roly Poly too. For assured carb coma.

I make you right with a decent vanilla - love chocolate but even that might be a bit too much for me ! yuck

Made this Apple pudding last week.

She calls it Malvern pudding, but it's a steamed pudding whereas normal Malvern pudding is cooked apples topped with a cinnamon flavoured custard.

However the lemon zest and juice in this gives a real freshness to the stodge, though the recipe doesn't say please note self raising flour not plain.

I can't remember what it's called, but it's basically the filling from an apple pie in a dish, with sponge cake over the top. Served with custard.

[edit - Eve's Pudding... https://clandestinecakeclub.co.uk/apple-sponge-eve... ]

Either that, or get a wiggle on down to Corfe Castle bakery in Dorset, and buy a whole Dorset Apple Cake. £7 from memory, and absolutely lovely. Pour some double cream over it, and enjoy...

If you can't face the trip out to The Purbecks, find a decent local bakery, or even a farm shop/cafe, and "try before you buy". Some of 'em are more than willing to sell you a whole cake/pudding/pie if you enjoyed your slice. Leave the aunt Bessie's stuff to students...

That looks nice - i think steamed puddings are best !

My vote would be banoffee pie, warm sticky toffee pudding with either cream or ice cream on top, warm chocolate/fudge cake with either cream or ice cream on top or syrup sponge.

Christmas pudding with brandy butter and/or brandy cream. You can probably get one now as well!

Don't forget the cheese board after that preferably washed down with a glass or two of decent port.lick
