A dessert to impress???

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

Ohhhhh how lovely.  Have a wonderful evening ILB!!! 

[achookwoman]

When did you say this was happening ?  What time?  Think we might all drop in

[I Love Bimby!]

Lol.... um.... NO!!! Ha ha.

Thanks all for your advice. I'm not sure if it'll be this weekend or next.... I'll let you know after the event 

I love Katya's Creme Burlee idea too... and I haven't made them before, so it might just be a good excuse.... plus I'll have to make another batch as a trial 

[Thermomixer]

Might pay to drop hints and ask if he has preferences for dessert.

You wouldn't win me with anything chcocolate (but then your not trying to win me over !)

After the lamb it may pay to go with something lighter or citrus - lemon meringue ?,  limoncello sorbet, george C's lemon sabayon?
Paul's Key Lime pie?

Good Luck   

[I Love Bimby!]

oh decisions, decisions.... 

Thanks Thermomixer    I'll sus him out I think. I know he enjoys icecream, so could always try the salted maple icecream that someone mentioned would "walk over glass" for....

Funny how before tmx days my range of desserts would be pretty simple.... ha, and now so many gorgeous options....

Hi ILB!

I made the Passion fruit Berry Dacquoise from the Thermomix site on NYE. Incredibly yummy and very impressive. We used fresh raspberries and put it all together a few hours before which meant the cream nicely melded into the meringue.

See http://thermorecipes.blogspot.com/2008/12/dacquoise-and-mousse.html

Good luck!!

Thanks JoJo, that looks good too, but I'm just not a big cream person 

Well have established he likes chocolate desserts, custard desserts and also tarts... so that narrows it down to ummm about a dozen options... lol

Anyone made a chocolate creme brulee?

[Katya]

Katya, which recipe did you use for the creme brulee? I have an old EDC and I had made a note on it about a revised recipe being put on the forum but also with the comment that some found the original recipe better than the revised one.

Judy - I used the recipe from the UK Fast & Easy book although the raspberries were my idea.  It certainly was fast and VERY easy....

I have had marriage proposals as a result of the EDC sticky date pudding....

[JulieO]

ILB, does it have to be made in the TM?  I have a few nice desserts that can be made ahead of time.  If you see anything here, I'd be happy to post the recipes or send you a PM.

This is a chocolate mousse that is nice and light and can look more special depending on what you serve it in.  A nice cup or a chocolate mould look especially good.





Or a Caramel & Banana tart,



And a Spring Berry tart, which was nice and refreshing

JulieO - you are the Queen of desserts for sure.  How inviting they all look.

[I Love Bimby!]

Oh JulieO, those desserts look divine! Just served lunch but would rather your desserts    And I would LOVE the recipes for all of them please 

I'm pretty much solely dependant on my tmx and oven as I don't have any of the "old" applicances.

Caroline J - the sticky date is divine isn't it?! With the warm weather we have at the moment I'd better leave that one till winter.

[gertbysea]

Julie-o Stop it right now. You are putting us to shame. I don't even eat deserts yet I wanna bite

Gretchen

[Thermomixer]

Wow JulieO - ILB might hire you for the night so she can concentrate on the small (or not so small) talk. 

Great work - actually, just put one in the mail since they're make ahead 

I have had marriage proposals as a result of the EDC sticky date pudding....

LOL - not sure if DH would now appreciate or hate the TMX with suitors after you and the TMX 

[JulieO]

Thankyou everyonel 

ILB, they were all done in the 'old' way,  do you still want me to post the recipes?
