~~~~~~~~~~ Queen of Puddings ~~~~~~~~~~

This rich, old-fashioned dessert is a layered pudding of fresh breadcrumbs, strawberry jam and golden meringue. Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, was responsible for the rise in popularity of this pudding. The Queen thought that the sweet was a particularly nutritious and economical diah to serve to all the patients in her hospital - Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital, in London. This recipe is a healthier version which uses much less fat and sugar, making a low-calorie dessert. You might like to try serving this pudding with sliced strawberries, as they make a tadte accompaniment and are also very decorative.

1 large lemon
3oz / 75g fresh white breadcrumbs
1/2oz /15g butter
21/2oz / 65g caster sugar
3/4 pine / 450ml skimmed milk
3 large eggs
1 tbsp sugar-free strawberry jam
Sliced strawberries for decoration

Finely grate the rind of the lemon and place it in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, butter and 1/2oz / 15g of sugar. Heat the milk until hot, but not boiling and pour it onto the breadcrumbs. Mix well, cover, and leave to stand for 1 hour.
Separate the eggs, reserving 3 yolks and 2 whites. Whisk the 3 egg yolks into the breadcrumb mixture, then pour into a buttered 11/2 pint / 850ml pie dish and cook in the centre of the oven for 45 minutes. until the pudding is lightly firm to the touch.
Leaving the oven on, remove the pie dish and then carefully spread the strawberry jam over the top of the pudding, so that it is even.
Whisk the 2 egg whites in a bowl together, until stiff but not dry, then gradually whisk in the rest of the sugar a little at a time to make a stiff and shiny meringue. Spoon or pipe the meringue on top of the pudding. Return to the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
Decorate with strawberry slices if desired, or you can serve them separately on the side. Serve the pudding straight from the oven.

Have fun making these!

Enjoy & good luck!..._;-)

My favorite dessert is extremely easy. Take a yellow boxed cake mix and prepare as directed. Take a CLEAN finger and poke holes in it. Take a box of Jello (still in liquid form) and drizzle it over the cake. Take some cool whip and use as icing. Chill for 1 hour and serve. It tases awesome!!!

PS it's called a POKE cake.

Answer 7

Bananas Foster! Yummmm!

Answer 8

My grandmother's chocolate cake with home made frosting. There's a similar recipe on the back of a Hershey's Cocoa package. Unfortunately, my grandmother won't give me her recipe, so I can't give it to you.

Also, if you live in Western NY, OH, PA, check out Wegman's Ultimate Chocolate Cake - it's really REALLY good.

Answer 9

Hugs and Chips Cheesecake! I originally got this recipe from a BHG magazine about 7-8 years ago. I found it online for you!

Answer 10

You can't go wrong with something chocolate (unless, of course, your mother doesn't like it or is allergic). Also, a classic cheesecake is always yummy. Good luck!
