Fruit Salad Crunch
Recipe by:
COXXXY
A quick dessert of raspberries, kiwis and grapes topped with custard and a sprinkling of HobNob biscuit crumbs. I find that this selection or fruits work best with the custard. Other fruits can 'clash' with the custard, and taste unpleasent. Sometimes I use Onken Biopot raspberry yogurt instead of custard. Easy dessert for two!

Caramel Flan
Recipe by:
flor
So delicious! This classic - also known as creme caramel - is a rich and creamy but not too heavy custard on a layer of caramelised sugar, baked in a water bath and chilled. The secret is long cooking (1 hour) at relatively low temperature (140 degrees C) and very careful caramelising of the sugar! Make sure that the melted sugar remains light brown when you place it into the ramekins. If it's too dark it gets too hard and any flan will taste too strong in this way (or even will taste slightly burnt).

Caramel and Vanilla Flan

Parmesan Colcannon
Recipe by:
Amanda
A modification of the traditional potato and cabbage or kale dish, with chunks of potato and a rich cheesiness that my dad exclaims over. Using milk instead of cream makes it healthier.
