Glad you like, as an alternative to using the eggs and then being left with 5 egg whites (which usually end up getting whisked into meringues) substitute with some whipped double cream and icing sugar to taste, and carefully fold into the mascarpone.

Black cherries from a tin usually come in lots of juice, for a non-alcohol/caffeine version ideal for kids, use the juice to make a jelly set over over the sponge fingers instead of the coffee/alcohol mixture.

I also decorate with cherries and chocolate shavings to give it more of a retro Black Forest Gateau look...


ETA...add some cherries to the jelly mixture, and make the night before to give it time to set properly

Clafoutis is easy and adaptable and not over sweet .You can add any fruit - I like cherries or apricots ,soaked in brandy or not . Make in ramekins or some kind of pie/lasagna dish .


And i've seen this


Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Clafoutis: Melt 1 cup chopped milk chocolate in a large mixing bowl set above a simmering pot of water. Fold in the clafoutis batter until smooth and fully incorporated. Pour into a skillet or pie plate, sprinkle with 1/4 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts, and bake.



suggested ,doesn't appeal to me but ...

Panettone Baked Alaska


Cut the 'lid' of the panettone off

Take the insides out leaving a wall of panettone

Fill with ice cream of your choice

Put lid back on

Make meringue, thickly cover the whole of panettone

Whack in a very hot oven for a few minutes till meringue has gone slightly brown......delicious !!!


You can make one big one or buy little panettone and have individual ones

That sounds pretty good. Panettone bread+butter pudding is also nice, and is reasonably christmassy. Especially if you slosh a bit of brandy over the panettone first.


Apple (or pear) and mincemeat crumble is a good one.


And I'm a big fan of the classic sherry trifle (you really need at least 1 cold and 1 hot dessert with Christmas dinner!)

I?ve done both the shortbread stars and the red wine tiramisu from this Ottolenghi article (https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/dec/03/yotam-ottolenghi-sweet-treats-festive-table) - they were fairly straightforward once you got going. I?m attempting his clementine and chestnut trifle this year!

My greedy eyes have spotted that if you make the Cherry Tiramisu you can then use the left over whites for the Baked Alaska*, and then use the left over Pannettone to make a Bread & Butter pudding...Dessertastic :)


*You can get Mince Pie ice cream for a more Christmassy taste...https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/sainsburys-mince-pie-dairy-ice-cream--taste-the-difference-500ml?langId=44&storeId=10151&krypto=MC%2FgQ4bF6ksUh%2F6DMBkiAUCAm7Fcow7KH3QLgndBjpw0IBFF20WuPjyVkoE%2B2lf2rT7HOVoLrGYp4v7aNHC8I80WK4Vf8J2Ffr1uNubacU%2B%2BQij%2Bc1GOYmtTlUlrtNjA&ddkey=https%3Agb%2Fgroceries%2Fsainsburys-mince-pie-dairy-ice-cream--taste-the-difference-500ml

    • Hello Did anyone see an accident about 15 minutes ago at the junction of Goodrich and Friern Road. A black car driven by a lady ran in to the side of my car as I was coming up Friern Road- instead of pulling over she drove off without providing her insurance information. If anyone happened to see this or has her license plate details please pm me. Thanks 
    • Hi everyone,  I have a few slots for next few days, if anyone need  a tidy or one off, please feel free to call, text, or WhatsApp as well. Thanks very much Fernando Pinto 
    • On what basis do you object to the economy spend numbers in the report and describe it as "extremely unlikely"? Is that objection based on data or is it vibes-based? Where does this estimate of "50-100 vehicles" come from? The objectors:supporters ratio doesn't speak volumes. Planning applications of this sort always receive objections from various curtain twitches and NIMBYs. It doesn't mean those objections are well-founded or sensible. The planning officers and councillors need to consider the issue objectively, not just count the letters. It's not a public vote. Saying the building is "out of character" is meaningless out of context. It's an unusual building on an unusual infill site. It's not supposed to be a model for future development across Dulwich as a whole.  We are in the middle of a housing crisis. London desperately needs more housing units. This is an opportunity to get a whole bunch of them on a small, unloved industrial site on top of a transit hub. Not building it because people like the Dulwich Society complains it's "visible" is crazy.
    • Not if someone wheels over it with a pram or a heavy footed person steps on it and it hasn't been tied up or is tied but explodes everywhere. Yuk! Agree we definitely need dog poo bins back again, particularly near Peckham Rye park, along Crystal Palace Road, and by Goose Green.
