starlight7 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Watching Masterchef on deserts and thinking I would never take all that trouble and fiddle about to make really fancy desserts . Would you? The most fancy things I make are apple pies, trifles and mousse and that is only on occasions. Usually if we want a dessert I just slop out yoghurt and strawberries or mango in season. Sometimes bread and butter puds or apple crumble because they are quick and easy. That's it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Nah, we are a cheeseboard family for the most part, if we have "dessert" at all. That and fresh fruit of course. I was really worried that Ben would stumble over the sweets but he did ok today at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same as you - don't go in for anything fiddly and fancy and we don't often have desserts. Apple pies, crumbles and a couple of other old style puddings are all I attempt. Fruit salad in the summer. OH enjoys different varieties of cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramot Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I really love making desserts when we have family/friends here, which is strange really as I don’t eat them or like cream which is in most of them. Got lots of lemons at the moment and my husband is dreaming of a lemon meringue pie!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 I love lemon meringue pie- send me some 'virtual lemons' hehe. Our tree got gall wasp and we cut off all the branches. It has re grown but no lemons for 2 years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OH pruned one of our lemon trees too far back a couple of years ago so we had no lemons on it last year. It has recovered from it's surgery and has a good few on it now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We eat deserts a lot, particularly on a Sunday, as I normally make a Sunday lunch to serve about 3pm, then we have the desert in the evening. But generally nothing "fancy". Last weekend was Eton Mess - strawberries are excellent this year. During the week, we often have something very simple. My wife made strawberry jellies the other day with fresh strawberries in it - loads of little shot glasses of it. So, on a evening maybe one of them with a slice of melon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
