Strawberry Pudding

Mon, 29 Aug 2005 18:55:53 -0400

What an unusual use for this glorious summer fruit! A Danish recipe that I thoroughly enjoyed. Though the original recipe called for vanilla, I found that the lemon zest did more to perk up the flavor of the berries. Cooking time does not include cooling time. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Fruit Juice Pudding (Saftkram)

Mon, 12 Sep 2005 16:07:28 -0400

This is the traditional dessert at my community's Swedish smorgasbord. It's a sweet thin-set pudding served with milk or cream. I like this made with grape or any dark red berry juice. From my Grandma's "Swedish Food" cookbook. -- posted by Kaarin

Danish Apple Pudding

Tue, 20 Sep 2005 10:09:17 -0400

A flavoursome Danish apple pudding with hazelnuts, honey and lemon. This dessert can be made well ahead of serving time as it is served chilled. Hazelnuts although high in fat contain mostly monosaturated fat which helps to lower levels of blood cholesterol in the body. I found this recipe on an International Masters '1001 recipes for pan or wok' card. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Traditional Australian Summer Pudding

Wed, 21 Sep 2005 12:43:30 -0400

A visually stunning and totally scrumptious pudding, this traditional Australian summer pudding is made when berries are at their peak; and it is served cold with Cardamom Cream. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants: the ratios are unimportant. What I've indicated below in the ingredients is but one possible berry combination. It was easier than trying to get Zaar to recognise all the possible alternative ingredients! Vary the ratios to suit your taste preferences and, of course, depending on what is available. What is important is that overall you have 1 kilo of berries (Australian): 2 pounds of berries (American) or 910g of berries (Canadian). A variety of berries will naturally make for a more interesting flavour combination. The preparation and cooking time does not include the overnight chilling time. Because it is a dessert that needs that overnight chilling, it can of course be made totally ahead of time! I have adapted this recipe from the Australian publication by Reader's Digest of a book jam-packed with traditional Australian recipes: 'Family Recipe Scrapbook: tried and trusted recipes for today's cooks'. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Passionfruit Flummery

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 16:04:21 -0400

The word flummery derives from the Welsh word 'llymru'. In Scotland, a flummery would include oatmeal; elsewhere in the British Isles, it was a sweet dessert made with fruit. This recipe is one I have adapted from the Australian publication by Reader's Digest of a book jam-packed with traditional Australian recipes: 'Family Recipe Scrapbook: tried and trusted recipes for today's cooks'. I bought the book in preparation for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, so I could track down familiar recipes I've eaten often or heard of but not previously eaten. What I love about the recipes in this book is that from whatever decade or centurey past they come, they have been updated to suit C21st tastes. This recipe harks back to "the days (in Australia) when many people had a passionfruit vine growing over the fence and kept a few chooks in the backyard, (when) this luscious flummery would have been an economical pudding". This is a prepare-ahead dessert, and the preparation and cooking times do not include the 6-8 hours needed for cooling. The probably Scottish origins of this particular flummery recipe are evident from the suggestion that it be served with shortbread biscuits. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Soft-Fruit Fool

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 16:07:31 -0400

The soft-fruit culinary sibling of the Fresh Fruit Fool. There is no foolishness about these two desserts! Traditional English fruit fools derive their name from the French word 'fouler', meaning to crush. Fortunately, this word was modified to 'fool': after all, not too many of us would be keen to be making, serving or eating 'foul' fruits! This recipe is one I have adapted from the Australian publication by Reader's Digest of a book jam-packed with traditional Australian recipes: 'Family Recipe Scrapbook: tried and trusted recipes for today's cooks'. I bought the book in preparation for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, so I could track down familiar recipes I've eaten often or heard of but not previously eaten. What I love about the recipes in this book is that from whatever decade or century past they come, they have been updated to suit C21st tastes. This is a prepare-ahead recipe, and the preparation and cooking times below do not include macerating and cooling times. BTW, 500g Australian = 455g Canadian = 1 pound American. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Banana Cream Pie in a Bowl

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 18:36:52 -0400

Vanilla Rice Pudding

Tue, 11 Oct 2005 14:32:49 -0400

From the magazine "Delicious" August 2005. I figure I can just bake some of my rhubarb with a little sugar to sweeten things up. As far as that goes I could just cook the rhubarb in a sauce pan on top of the stove. -- posted by Charlotte J

Frozen Chocolate Fruit Cake Pudding

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 22:21:32 -0500

Ideal for those of us who live in the Southern Hemisphere, when it is so hot at Christmas time. We just can't eat anything hot and steamy, so this is a good alternative if you are craving a Christmas 'pud'.My mother used to make one very similar and it was delicious.

Key Lime Mousse; Awesome!!

Wed, 10 May 2006 18:12:56 -0400

This is even better than Key lime Pie because it is creamy and much richer yet still light enough to serve after a heavy meal. A wonderful mix of sweet and tart. Don't let the use of unflavored gelatin and the long directions scare you off. If you can make Jello, you can make this. Just follow the directions & you'll be fine. This mousse is great for family desserts during the summer yet with some graham cracker crumbs and white chocolate curls on top, it is fancy enough for company also. -- posted by JanetC-KY

Yellow Squash Dessert

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:21:44 -0500

Wonderful way to get kids to eat squash. I've made this for years, and haven't found anyone who didn't like it. Its creamy, easy and delicious.I used to tell my kids it was a dessert pudding, and it was years before they realized they were eating squash. It has a nice vanilla taste. You can use splenda as a substitute for the sugar. Hint: Precook your squash by peeling, seeding, cubing and boil it in enough water to cover it, for about 20 minutes, then drain throughly. -- posted by blgpts

Strawberry Sorbet Sensation

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:45:47 -0500

From Light and Tasty. This looks like a great refreshing dessert for summer. I don't use fat-free ingredients, but I think the regular equivalents would work just as well. (If using regular pudding mix the weight will be greater--a 3 or 4 oz box I think). Cook time is freezing time. ZWT 3: U.S. (strawberries) -- posted by lucid501

Red, White and Blue Parfait

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 18:02:33 -0500

Weight Watchers Vanilla Mousses / Panna Cotta (Core)

Mon, 28 May 2007 21:25:11 -0400

From the UK Cook Eat Enjoy recipe book. This is a really nice, light dessert that I fall back on all the time. The recipe book calls it a mousse / panna cotta, but it's not really either... perhaps like a hard panna cotta in texture if anything, but either way it works well and is really nice. The recipe book serves it with roasted plums, but I prefer it with tinned raspberries. You can pretty much put whatever fruit you like with it (tinned or fresh) but, as per the first review, it does need something with it. It's a lovely summery dessert and doesn't taste particularly low fat at all. This is core or 1.5 points (WITH one roasted plum per serving) if you're doing full choice. Sorry - I'm not sure what the points damage is without the plums. Please feel free to Z-mail me if you would like the roasted plum part of the recipe to try with it. Enjoy! -- posted by Wendy-Bob

Midsummer Swedish Strawberry Compote - Jordgubbskräm

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:09:20 -0400

Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be! In Scandinavia, the summer solstice is a magical time. The lavender twilight lasts until 11 p.m. and the day breaks again at about 2 a.m.; above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't sink below the horizon for weeks. This year, 2007, Midsummer Eve, the beginning of the three day official holiday, falls on June 25. Throughout Scandinavia, families and friends gather to decorate the maypole with birch leaves and wildflowers, make flower crowns for women and girls, dance around the maypole, sing summer songs and feast on pickled herring, new potatoes, and aquavit. In addition, many families have their own special foods that they traditionally serve as the Midsummer meal. These are usually dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served outdoors. -- posted by French Tart

Must Try Low Fat Raspberry Dessert (Panna Cotta-Ish)

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 13:33:33 -0400

In the UK, Marks & Spencer do THE nicest dessert at this time of year - a raspberry panna cotta. Now for those doing Weight Watchers you'll know that panna cotta is practically a deadly sin, so I made up my own low fat version to try and stop me buying the M&S stuff. It's ever so healthy and really tasty - you wouldn't believe it's low fat at all in my opinion. It's almost core but I think you have to count gelatin(?) in which case it's not quite. Depending on whats in your cupboard you can either make this with a flavoured topping or just add vanilla and keep it simple (and more like a panna cotta). This week I've used raspberry jelly though and I think this is my fave version so I'm posting it this way, but if you want to make the plain vanilla version you may need to add some splenda if you like your desserts sweet. Please note that you have to make this recipe in two parts so allow time for setting, etc. Enjoy! -- posted by Wendy-Bob

Rosy Rosé Berries: Strawberries and Raspberries in Wine

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 15:41:03 -0400

A favourite "grown-up" summery and romantic dessert in our home! Summer berries - raspberries and strawberries, steeped in Rosé wine with a little sugar. Great by themselves or with whipped cream or crème fraiche. So easy to make - and they work better if made up to 48 hours beforehand. These berries are stunning if used in trifles or fruit fools! Please adjust the sugar to your personal taste and also according to the sweetness of the fruit. -- posted by French Tart

Rhubarb Tiramisu

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 16:26:30 -0400

Ww Panna Cotta With Strawberry Sauce and Pine Nuts

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:12:18 -0500

I really enjoy this one. It tastes very indulgent and not at all "diet-y." Both of my kids love to eat the panna cotta plain right out of the ramekins. Personally, I definitely recommend the sauce. The panna cotta itself is quite sweet and the tartness of the sauce is perfect with it. I've found that you can halve the sauce recipe and still have plenty. I've actually taken to making the full amount of sauce and just using the excess on other things. Either way... this has become a favorite here. Recipe from the ww website. 4 points per serving. -- posted by HollyGolightly

Instead of strawberries, you could substitute whatever fruit is bursting with summer ripeness, such as peaches or blueberries. This dessert can be layered in a 9" baking dish, or for a nicer presentation, use a tall-sided trifle bowl. An added bonus is that this is a very low-fat dessert. -- posted by Cookin'Diva

I've made it 3 times and each time its come out perfectly - whether 1 big dessert or 6 small individual ones. On the website recipe, they make a boysenberry sauce to go with it. I've only ever served fresh kiwifruit or berry fruit and whipped cream with mine - this is the traditional kiwi way. -- posted by Zaatarbella

Very Berry Delight (Non Dairy!)

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:10:54 -0500

This delicious pairing of chocolate and berries comes from the World's Healthiest Foods site. The silken tofu gives the chocolate a creamy texture without using heavy cream, making this a heathful alternative to most dessert recipes. NOTE: Cook time includes prep for the pudding and the berries; Prep time is the time to chill the prepared pudding. ALSO, if you use frozen berries, thaw and drain well before adding. You may want to save the juice from the thawed berries, and drizzle it over the top for extra flavor and nutrition. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

This was a recipe I found in my mom's collection. It was given to her by my grandma. This pie is very good and creamy. I made a few adjustments to satisfy my chocolate addiction. Prep/cook time does not include cooling of crust. -- posted by AZPARZYCH

Strawberry Mousse Parfaits

Thu, 21 May 2009 01:52:01 -0400

From TOH magazine. Although the recipe calls for the parfaits to be served in parfait or cocktail glasses, I think they'd be nice scaled down to fit in a smaller glass, such as shot glasses. The ribbon of bright red strawberries in the middle of the creamy pink mousse looks so pretty! The prep time doesn't include time for the berry mixture to chill. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

Strawberries With Balsamic Sabayon

Fri, 29 May 2009 22:58:10 -0400

Since barely adorned strawberries are the star in this recipe, please choose plump, red berries. The chilled sabayon sauce is enhanced with balsamic vinegar and the taste will be very complex and delicious with a really good quality aged balsamic, however, it is still wonderful made with a more ordinary balsamic. Prep time does not include chilling time. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Lemon Verbena Syllabub for Lazy Summer Days or Dinner Parties!

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:30:22 -0400

Just the job when it is hot and humid, a simple and elegant dessert to finish off a special summer dinner party outside and under the stars! This is also a wonderful accompaniment for fresh summer berries or gently poached fruits. Try to make sure that you give these little syllabubs plenty of time to chill and set before serving. Serve with a squirt of Chantilly cream and some fresh Lemon Verbena leaves as a garnish. Lemon Verbena is a very lemony herb, think of fizzy lemon sherbet (as in Barratts Sherbet Dipper) and you will have an idea of the taste! -- posted by French Tart

Summer Berry Shortcake Sundae (Red, White and Blue for Patriotic

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:29:02 -0400

Quick, easy and super-economical dessert for a summer BBQ, block party etc. This is a delectable concoction of berries, cake and creamy yumminess! My MIL made a version of this over Memorial Day, it will now be part of our summer recipes, forever more! My 2.5 yr old daughter begs for this! (My next experiment will include coconut cream pudding, pineapple and bananas for a tropical treat; I'll let you know how it turns out!) -- posted by baldwin bistro

Fresh Peaches in Sauternes Soak With Angelica and Lavender

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:32:34 -0400

This is a wonderful, light summery dessert, which never fails to please my guests, as well as my family and friends! Fresh peaches are soaked in sweet Sauternes with angelica leaves and lavender flowers tucked amongst them. Angelica is an interesting, aromatic tasting herb, and although I normally only use the stems to candy or crystallise (Recipe #248003) I have discovered that the leaves also make a great accompaniment when used with fresh fruit. Try to serve this fresh fruit salad in a large clear glass bowl for maximum impact; it just looks so pretty with the light shining through the fruit, juices and herbs! I find that the only thing that is needed to serve this is a good dollop of crème fraiche. I have also made this with apricots and melon for a slight change. I like to use a combination of white and yellow peaches for this recipe but please use local and fresh peaches regional to your area. Prep time includes the minimum "soaking" time. I have not tried this with tinned peaches, but suspect that they may be too "soft" to hold their shape for prolonged soaking. -- posted by French Tart
