Here's one if you're not bothered about the waist line Exclamation

its very quick and easy
Creme Framboise

Whip 3/4pint of double cream and fold in 1 pint of natural yoghurt, 14oz can of fruit i.e. raspberries or strawberries ( the softer fruits work best) drained,3 tsp lemon juice, 2 tbs caster sugar and put into a serving dish. Sprinkle with demera sugar and chill until serving. You can adjust the amounts to the amount of people its for. The quanties here will fill the large glass dish from one of those six small trifle dish and one large dish set and will give generous portions for six.

A dead easy one that expands to feed any number. It is very rich and is a good way to use up the slightly ripe cream that might be left over from Christmas.

Caledonian Cream

1 large carton double or whipping cream
1 tbsp lemon juice
2-3 tbsp whisky
1 tbsp caster sugar
3 tbsp thick dark marmalade

Whip all the ingredients in a bowl until stiff ( easier to start off the cream first ) and then spoon into individual glasses, ramekin dishes or coffee cups.
Sprinkle with toasted oatmeal, crumbled oatmeal biscuits or toasted almonds. Can be served with sweet oatmeal biscuits.

Best made a few hours - or the night before- you want it so it can set firmly.

Hi, Tiramisu is always popular, but if you want something unusual try
a "Peach Custard Tart with Streusel topping"

10" Sweet or Shortcrust Pastry Case

Filling
5 med sized peaches 700g approx
5 floz Soured cream
3 egg yolks
7 oz castor sugar
2 oz plain flour

Streusel Topping is a crisp topping of butter sugar and flour, often with added spices such as
cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. It is of German origin and is very similar to crumble topping
for fruit.

2 oz butter
2 1/2 oz plain flour
2 oz castor sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
Arrange sliced peaches in uncooked pastry case
Beat soured cream, egg yolks, sugar & flour until
just blended and poor slowly over peaches.
Bake for 30mins or just until custard is beginning
to set.
Whilst the pie is cooking prepare the topping by
rubbing together the butter flour cinnamon and
sugar to resemble course breadcrumbs.

Sprinkle over pie and bake for a further 15 mins
or until streusel is golden and knife inserted in the
middle comes out clean

In a frying pan melt butter and brown sugar, put in sliced bananas and cook until fruit is soft and a loose caramel has formed, add a pinch of cinnamon and flame in Brandy or rum. Pour over good vanilla ice cream whist still hot.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
