I made chocolate orange mousse.. and a coffee ice cream and oreo layered dessert.
Both were yummy!
Banoffee Pie (My fav' dessert - ready-made at Sainsbury's too!)
Serves 8-10. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Chilling time: 1½ hours. Cooking time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
Base:
100g (3½oz) butter
250g (9oz) digestive biscuits, crushed
Caramel:
175g (6oz) butter
85g (3oz) caster sugar
85g (3oz) dark brown soft sugar
397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
4 small bananas
284ml carton double cream, lightly whipped
cocoa powder, for dusting
Method
In a large saucepan, melt 100g (3½oz) of the butter and stir in the crushed biscuits. Press into the base and partly up the sides of a 19cm (7½in) loose-bottomed cake tin. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the caramel.
To make the caramel, place the butter and the sugars in a non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk, stirring continuously, bring gently to boil, to make a smooth, golden caramel. Spread the caramel over the biscuit base and chill for about 1½ hours.
Slice the bananas and arrange most of them over the caramel. Spread with whipped cream. Decorate with the remaining bananas and dust liberally with cocoa powder.
(Sometimes instead of making the caramel, I melt 'Dime' bars or other chocolate bars with lots of caramel in them instead and pour it over the base which tastes so amazing!)

Re: No-fail desserts
Sajal, r u talking about cool whip (tub) or liquidy heavy whip cream. Please confirm. I want to make this dessert. Thanks
This is the easiest recipe out there and always a hit. I call it 'Strawberry/Pineapple' delight. Ingredients 1 can pineapple chunksfresh strawberries (if used frozen then well thawed and water squeezed out)pound/yellow cakesweetened condensed milkwhip creamcream cheese (optional)(I don't use Cream cheese to save some calories since rest of the ingredients are already high in fat). Mix whip cream, cream cheese and condensed milk. Spread cake in a dessert serving bowl. Layer pineapple and strawberries on top of cake. Lastly pour in the whip cream/condensed milk mixture. You can decorate with some pineapple and strawberries on the top if you want. Served chill.
Re: No-fail desserts
^Yeah I use cool whip that comes in a tub. I've seen people use heavy cream for the same dessert but that's a little too runny for my taste.

Re: No-fail desserts
A wow dessert would be “death by chocolate”. Its a no fail dessert. I cant remember the number of times I have been asked to make it and its very easy to make.
Sticky toffee pudding is also very a big big hit

Re: No-fail desserts
Ok, now i want to try another dessert recipe. Can someone recommend halal instant chocolate pudding mix i think jello brand has gelatin.thnks
Re: No-fail desserts
Sajal, I made again pineapple delight, but this time I used heavy whip cream (liquidy)+cool whip(left over) so i used 1/4+ condesned milk. This one was more delicious as compare to first time cuz that one was more dry as cake didn't soak very well with just cool whip+condense milk and maybe cuz i drained the juice of pineapple too.
Glad it turned out good. :)
